Preparing for more exhibitions!

Ann is already preparing for her POP Up Solo exhibition at Lilford Framing Gallery in Castle St, Canterbury. Paintings are stacked in the Dining Room ready for the car, and a hanging plan is forming.

Whilst the group exhibition at Bluewater is just opening, I am already thinking about next week and getting all my oil paintings ready for the Lilford Framing Gallery in Castle St Canterbury; this is a POP UP exhibition, a solo, and I shall be there in the Gallery all the time, Monday 4th December when I am hanging until Saturday 9th 5pm take down time. I am looking forward to meeting lots of new people, this is my first exhibition in Canterbury and it is accessible for everyone in the South East of Kent.

Paintings are stacked in the Dining Room ready for the car, and a hanging plan is forming. This is going to be a big exhibition, it is a lovely space and will take about twenty of my paintings, nothing but the best!

Summer of Painting 2

I have spent two weeks in Cornwall this summer, one in St Ives in May and the second in Marazion in July; the weather was different the first being hot and sunny and the second cooler with a westerly breeze. Importantly I have done sketching and painting and lots of photos and inspiration for my summer of painting.

I have a plein air painting from the Island in St Ives and another painting from some sketches on the beach.

Porthmeor Beach from the Island, Summer Day 20″x20″ oil on canvas
Blustery Day on a Cornish Beach 20″x20″ oil on canvas

I am currently working on another beach painting, hoping to capture the light on the wet sand. My stay in Marazion led to some great views of the Tin Mines at Botallick and some sea views from Marazion with St Michael’s Mount and some rain clouds blowing in over the point to the west. I have become interested in the patterns in the rock formations and hope to produce a series which uses these patterns.
