Gallery Girl

Today, once again, I am at the beautiful Gallery One at Bundall, indulging my love of ART and being paid for it! Sometimes I pinch myself that I get to paint, or discuss art, or sell gorgeous paintings all day, and that is my job. I am privileged to have such an awesome job. Don't tell my boss, but I would volunteer for this!! hahaha....no really, keep paying me...please...

Right now I am looking at an exquisite group of landscapes by Katherine Boland, and some dramatic abstracts by Conchita Carambano, and Jonathon Hayde's latest paintings have everything you'd expect from his intricate collection of images, but there is something more in these...layer upon layer of shapes and colours placed in the most interesting but harmonious ways. All of these works could be hung in the latest restaurant or in the most relaxing resort... that adaptability is an amazing quality of abstracts...

Ebay Sales

Ebay

I have turned to my old friend Ebay to help me clear out the paintings that I picked up from Treasured Interiors that hadn't sold. I posted this one last night and I already have a bid, so that's exciting. It can be found at the address below.

I'm also posting an image of my new space. I will be throwing myself into this in 5 weeks as that's how long I have left at the Studio. I will have 12 months to really hook into it! John Squires got ready for his last show in 30 days! OMG! but then that's John Squires and I like hiw work, but I wonder how many people buy it for the celebrity factor? He'd be annoyed at that comment, but it's a fair comment, I think. On the easel is my latest boat. It is going well. It is very different from the last one and so much better. I am very happy with it, although now I look at the last one and I think it is so bad! How could I have thought it was so good? amazing!

my paintings in an advert in the paper!!

Imagine my surprise when I was browsing the

local paper and noticed this advert for Treasured Interiors. right in the back of the picture, my little paintings can be seen (little rectangles of blue!) all of these have since sold, but it is exciting to see them in the paper! I have some new ones to go in there tomorrow!

welcome to my new 'followers'

hey hey, how exciting. four people want to know about my art!! Thanks so much for your interest!
So, today I wandered in and met the amazing Pelita at a wonderful little place in Mermaid. Now the chop next door is The Mermaid Beach store of Sea-life, an amazing place (also at Palm Beach) that has sea-inspired home and gift wares and hopefully my paintings hanging there by the end of tomorrow! wish me luck!!
I am being choosy about where I put them as I think they will work in certain shops and I want 'work' with like minded people who won't rip me off. I am folowing my instincts every step of the way with this.
But having said that, I was having a minor panic today as the car service etc has cost me over $1000 in the past week. These things have to be done and the car has had no work other than services in the 2 and 1/2 years I've had it, so I can't complain too much, can i? But I have to get moving on this and will begin markets sooner rather than later. although I might be putting the cart before the horse on this one, as my goal was to commence in September. I don't like the markets on the coast and the early start times just don't agree with my delicate constitution and my love of all things doonah!! anyway, will pop down and see the market at Cooly on Sunday and see if it is for me???
Happy Art-ing Everyone!!!
