How the French impressionists are leaving their mark on this artist.  Paintings dancers with a province blue background...I must be feeling very French!

Last week I sat in a garden and painted the pond. The thing is it was Monet’s Garden and it was his waterlily Pond  I've been arting about this week and there's more to come. So I've been asking myself "How do we gain confidence from our art?".  I've just delivered some brand new pieces to the Doll's house in Fordingbridge and I couldn't believe my eyes when I got there.  The unassuming entrace to the Doll's house hides the treasure inside. Go in. A warm welcome awaits you. Why sometimes my oil paintings can look like watercolour even though water never goes anywhere near the canvas!   My blogs, seem to refer to art being good for you quite a lot.

Drawing can develop and enhance our appreciation of our surroundings. So, I dare you to come and draw with me! You'll have a super time. Unless you're already an experienced art collector, the thought of buying an original piece of art might feel daunting, but with these tips you’ll have the confidence to choose art for your home, that suits your style and budget.  |
