Bathos
I recently came across the term ‘Bathos’
and think it describes the inspiration for my portraits of domestic artefacts rather well…
 ”BATHOS: the sudden appearance of the commonplace in otherwise elevated matter or style.”
Back to the Drawing Board! Brilliant!
Digging my old drawing board from my LCP days out of the attic has transformed my working life! My shoulders are now full of the joys of spring, instead of being full of aches and pains!
A most successful weekend at Parallax Art Fair!!
What a busy weekend! The private view on Friday evening was a whirlwind – with much support from my wonderful family and friends. Then on Saturday and Sunday, down to business: lots of networking and sharing experiences with other artists; much enthusiasm for my work from visitors; definite interest from London galleries; a couple of commissions and several sales!!
I really couldn’t have asked for more….
I stayed on in London an extra day to explore galleries and scour second-hand bookshops for lots of inspiration for new paintings.
Exghausted now, but back to the studio tomorrow. I can’t wait to get going on lots of new work!!
You'll find me at stand 51
Find me on Stand 51….very handily next to the cafe and bar 🙂
SHELF-PORTRAITS (grown-up shelfies!)
My bookshelf paintings formally known as ‘Shelfies’
have had a re-branding ready for http://www.parallaxaf.co/ and will henceforth wish be known as…
SHELF-PORTRAITS
this has a more professional air, and relates directly to the idea of traditional oil painting,
whereas ‘Shelfie’ automatically brings snapshot photography to mind….
And here’s the latest….
‘Unwritten Book 3’ rsw2015 oil on canvas 10″x20″ £325

More Open Studios… this Friday and Saturday :-)
A great weekend of Open Studios was had at Northlight Art Studios last weekend, and now we have ANOTHER ONE!!!
We are open Friday 4th July and Saturday 5th July from 11am til 5pm. We won’t be open on Sunday however, as there will be a few other distractions passing through Hebden Bridge on wheels…..
