Pillow Fight

I decided to enter a competition on Ohhdeer.com. As I had already created some cushion specific designs for Mama Weedon's birthday, I figured why not!?

Short Films

I spent a few days down in Somerset hanging out with my boyfriend and his friends whilst shooting short films. We took a day trip to Landacre Bridge in the Emoor National Park, Devon, for the 'Riverside' video. I even had my acting debut and helped edit it in post production. I really enjoyed the editing process of it though... Maybe a change in career path!? The boys filmed another short called 'No Goodbyes'... Although this time I only helped out by making bacon sarnies!

Art @ The Vine

As mentioned before, I was involved in an event last night that was organised by the lovely Tenaya Steed. I managed to get a few paintings together in the last couple of days, despite the creative block in the last post! 

I did attempt at documenting the night and the other artists work, but a few too many free glasses of wine and I'm afraid half of them were not blog worthy. I didn't manage to get a decent photo of Sam Higley's lovely illustrations, but if you're curious here is his blog - http://silversleeves.tumblr.com/

I had lots of fun setting it up and enjoyed having something to work towards. Thank you to everyone that turned up and made it a great evening. All the work will be up for a few more days, so if anything tickles your fancy, pop on down!

My Work (and me)...

Rose Vellacott's beautiful portraits... http://www.rosevellacott.co.uk/home

Ollie Guilbert's landscapes (excuse Seb's attempt at photo bombing) and one of many of Tenaya Steed's  lovely bird paintings...

Panic Mode

I have been beavering away the last couple of days trying to get a few paintings together to exhibit at a little shindig an old work friend has set up at a local pub, The Vine.

Art at the Vine event page.

It's not quite going to plan, and I'm in slight panic mode that I wont have anything that I'm happy with to show or sell. I decided to have a root around in the two A2 portfolios of work that has built up over the last 5 years. Here are some little gems I came across. I'm hoping they will now inspire me...

Happy Birthday Mama Weedon

I recoloured one of the swedish meadow designs that I knew my Mum liked. I made it so that it would fit in with the colour palettes around our house. The cushions are also double-sided, just in case she wanted to mix it up a bit! My cushion making skills are a bit... errr... hap dash?! But you have to give me some credit, I've never sewn on a zip before!

 

Dolby Meadow Commission

I was commissioned recently to do a painting based on this photograph. Despite the obvious bursts of violet blue, the customer actually wanted the real emphasis to be on the shapes of the cow parsley, mixed with the subtle pinks of the tall grass seeds. I think I managed to capture this, and it is now waiting to be framed so that it can take pride and place in her kitchen!

Please get in touch if you know anyone interested in a floral/landscape based commission. Every little helps!

How am I going to work!?
