ESSA




The opening at Art Exposure was interesting, got to really look at other artists work, including the lovely paintings of Fiona Wilson.


Currently have 3 works at ESSA auction - closing at lunchtme today - so went into Edinburgh on saturday - the Lyon and Turnbull showroom was in a bit of the town I'd never been to before, but it was too wet to really explore . . .

This painting was done as a study in using ultramarine and burnt sienna, along with titanium and flake white. First time I've really understood the advantages of layering.

First Show


Taking part in my first commercial show on Friday, at Art Exposure Gallery. Very nervous. This picture was framed by a new framer to me (at East Cambell St), and he did a marvellous job - will try and get a picture of it up in the gallery.

Newbie

Hmm, not sure if this is my thing, but thought it might be interesting.
