All the artwork is dry; there's nothing else to worry about? If only. Read on to find out what really happens the week before an art fair.  "Stag in the frosty dawn light" I have felt for sometime that creating art is an emotional journey; in turn finding and viewing art you love is emotional too. So, is buying art actually deep personal connection between art and viewer?  I’ll be sharing my secrets, tips, and techniques on how I paint at this week's Fresh Art fair.  Fresh art fair, viewed from the Balcony at the Centaur building. Last week, I took the train up to London to visit the Sorolla exhibition and it was truly an inspiration.  “Do you do it from memory or just make that up out of your head?” I was asked this recently by a lady looking with admiring eyes at my latest horse painting “Waters edge”. I wasn’t quite able to explain in one sentence, but I’m going to try here.  "Waters edge" Oil on linen, Louise Luton I've been asked loads of times about the art fairs I do, by folks who haven’t ever been to one before. I’m so sad that some people don’t come because they’re worried they might look like a numpty and get something wrong. So I thought I'd jot down my top 10 tips for anyone considering buying art at art fair this year - there is no need to be nervous and you're going to have a great day out with my easy guide.  This is my stand at last year's Contemporary Art fairs, Surrey. There is buzz as I arrive at an art fair. Friendly, full of anticipation and the joy of seeing plenty people after a few months of flying solo in the studio creating new work. Many artists on the circuit know each other and have done for years. Whilst unloading our cars and vans laden heavily with canvases, sculptures and passpartout, there are hugs and kisses abound as everyone says hello and makes their way to their stand - Their home for the next few days.  Here I am with fellow artists, Carole, Dianne and Alce celebrating our love of colour with Super Slacks Sunday. Yesterday I delivered some paintings to the beautiful Ytene gallery in Brockenhurst, right in the heart of the New forest , Helen is busy preparing and I'm so excited that my solo show opens on Saturday.  Preparations in full swing at the Ytene gallery |
