I saw my painting, "Because I Trust You", through the window of the Exchange Bar, Leicester and had to take this funky photograph ! It is there as part of the Knighton Lane Artist's show. There was a oneday sale in the basement room which went quite well. Oh, which is my work? Its the yellow ochre headless nude in the centre of the image. There seems to be two impossibly small people underneath it ! Its the KLA 30th anniversary year this year.


The Sumo Bar show for "Windows-on" charity event, went very well. The sun shone and my work looked good up on the wall.In fact , everyone's artwork looked really good. I just hope they last out the year outside like that.

Well, time to enjoy the cooling evening having worked/baked in my taxi all day. Just remember to Love all, hurt none, and walk in soft shoes. Its all there within you, reach down and discover your potential.

Numero uno and a second work for charity

The above is called "#2: Love, Lust, Legacy", its just over a square metre in size and its acrylic on board. I made it in a bit of a hurry for the "Windows-on" project at Leicester's SUMO BAR. The event is solely for charity and, although the festivities (live music, food, craft,drinks etc.,) are on the 26th May 2012, the actual exhibition lasts a whole year. The works are all hanged (hung?) outside so they are probably not for resale at the end of it all. The theme this year is "World Party". Didnt really inspire me but I gave it a go.
              This is the second work to come out of my new studio and you will see the figure 2 just above my tag in the lower right hand corner.

This painting is the first to come out of my studio and is so marked in the bottom right corner, above my tag. It is based on Maz and is acrylic on canvas. The title is "#1: M-L T ".

The blogger people have fiddled with the workings of the site and its now sooooo hard to manipulate.........or maybe its just me? !

Anyway, going to the opening of the Sumo Bar saturday, camera in hand, maybe camcorder too, and hope that lots of other people attend, support my art and the works of 19 other artists whilst also supporting the charity.

In the meantime, love all, hurt none, and walk in soft shoes.
