Balloons

I think I just about managed to keep my frantic painting under wraps and have finally handed over my latest piece; a painted polaroid present for the newly wed Mr and Mrs Thompson.

'Balloons' 2012

Oil on primed paper

3.5 x 4.25 inches

Surprisingly, this is the first time I've framed a piece of my work properly. I took some tips from the paintings that are on display in Nottingham Trent University, and chose a simple box frame with a hessian printed mount backing.

Framed by Cotswold Framing, Cheltenham.

(Please ignore the reflections!)

Now that's done, I have a commission for three more Polaroid Paintings to be getting on with. If I'm being realistic, what with work and general life goings on, I think this will take me right up until the end of the year. So, maybe it will have to be 2013 before I properly get the chance to do my own thing, perhaps something a little different..?



Tarpey Gallery

A bit slow on the update on this one, but I'm involved in the opening of Tarpey Gallery's online shop and have four paintings for sale. There are currently two on the website and the others are available to view on request, or in the gallery itself.

You can visit the shop HERE.
