Back to (near) normal....

Oh dear.....what a hopeless Blogger I've been.....must (will) try harder (Hangs head in shame). In my defence....I have been incredibly busy getting ready for the North East Open Studios event. This is an annual event in which Artists from all over the North east of Scotland open the doors of their studios and workshops to the public. I've taken part in NEOS for several years, however, last year I had to withdraw due to experiencing a flood in my studio which meant  lost a lot of my work. So this year, I looked forward to getting back on the bandwagon.
I invited a fellow artist friend, Angela Arnold, to share my "venue" as she was having trouble finding somewhere to show her work....her own home studio being unsuitable.
In total, we had almost 70 original paintings and drawings on show, with repro-prints and cards also available for sale. 


Here are some photos of the artworks on display:

                                                                  



We had some fantastic feedback from the visitors, and both Angela and I made sales and received some commissions.....so I'll be busy painting and drawing in the coming weeks.....I'll post some photos of my work as and when it is ready.
