I am making cats at the moment - photos to follow, AND I'm drawing! Also I am trying to replicate in clay the movement I got in wax on my last course with Brendan in Holmfirth. Challenging.
The new pieces are much better than the earlier pieces and I will change the photos soon but as I considered this updating I began to wonder why I wanted a web site and blog in the first place. Yes, I would like to attract clients for commissions and have a instant portfolio for any interested gallery and yes, I admit there is a serious element of vanity publishing but I do also want to encourage other ladies of a certain age to have a go at what ever they want to try - a case of 'I can so you can!'
It looks as though I will be able to have an exhibition in the spring at New Barn Farm. Really childishly excited and Sharon has agreed to do some pro photos for me of outdoor pieces as a project for herself and a showcase for her work. She is also kindly taking a painting to Chichester for me along with her own short listed entry for the National Art Competition. I wasn't allowed to enter sculpture so I sent a painting. I found the required blurb and artist statements extremely difficult as I am convinced a load of precocious twaddle is just an excuse for a crappy piece of work. Here's the picture - it's called 'Waiting'.
Thank you Rattrays for adding to my blog, tell my other chums how easy it is to do.
