Shelf-Portraits
My Father's Handwriting
Feeling a bit strange while I paint my father’s handwriting, picturing him writing it, remembering his features and characteristics, all implicit in the writing……
Compartmentalisation
I am sincerely hoping that this new painting is going to be ready for ‘The Comfort of Things’ exhibition at Hebden Bridge Town Hall. Opening 3 weeks today!! (eeek!)
Hope I just haven’t tempted fate…..
The Comfort of Things – coming soon!!
Commission yourselfie a 'Shelfie'
SHELFIES – the new selfies!
‘Slow Books’ rsw oil on canvas 2014 10″x20″
Above is the ‘Shelfie’ I painted for authors Carl Honore and Miranda France. These are the books that are special in their lives together.
Both the painting and the idea of a ‘Shelfie’ have been so popular that I thought it was time to market the idea more widely!!
