Watercolour Artist
I have started to play with some Christmas card designs – not sure yet if I will get any printed – the cost of postage has really depressed the sending of cards, though I am sure we all like to receive them. Sadly, many family and friends have not been visited this year, and a Facebook post is just not the same as a hand written note…..
Could we include a neighbour who perhaps doesn’t have any family close by?
Can we make our tiny corner of the world feel more love this Christmas?
The Heritage centre, in the centre of Lytham is a focal point for local artists with regular exhibitions.
This is Sunday afternoon 13th September…
“Handing in day”
We have painted… framed…labelled and packed our pictures, and now our talented team of “hangers” are preparing the space ready for opening day
TUESDAY 15th SEPTEMBER
Our Autumn Exhibition at the Heritage Centre starts next Tuesday. Open Daily 10am to 4pm (closed Mondays)
From Tuesday 15th September to 4th October
having watched the recent eclipse at Fairhaven Park in Lytham, I took some photos of our famous replica Spitfire
and as the strange light turned to dusk…..
I painted a quick card for my son’s birthday… and another for 1940’s weekend 15/8/26 which quickly sold…
So I have painted this with a view to having a few printed for next summer’s 1940’s event
it was odd being “buzzed” by replica spitfire and hurricane planes while elegant ladies and dapper gentlemen strolled our streets. Quite an event for Lytham St Anne’s !
The watercolour group at Lytham St Anne’s Art Society are displaying their recent art in the Studio on Haven Road, FY8 5EG for September.
The studio is open most days from 10.00am,
and also for a coffee morning next Saturday, 5th September .
These paintings can be viewed or purchased @ £75.00.
my workspace – well used, here are a few photos of my A6 Notebook-
More fun to use than shop bought….
will use to record details of my new paintings… ..
eg paper, colours used and sale price!!
Had the kitchen to myself today, so good opportunity to make a mess with paper, tea, coffee and lots of water
Sheets ready to make into pages in some small notebooks….
I have bought some Dorlands wax to experiment, using old paintings to cut up into cards, bookmarks, book covers
not sure how they will turn out!
