A virtual art exhibition - an idea I have woken up

A virtual art exhibition - an idea I have woken up with. Essentially an Instagram live with me sitting in front of a series of new work. All spurred on by your enthusiasm for the new range - For The Chop.
Sorry I can’t offer you all champagne or canapés but that’s not very me anyway so you are more than welcome to grab a glass of your tipple and some @maltesersuk and join me. No calming classical music playing in the background but maybe a little Whitney & Wham?
I’m not ready yet. I still feel a complete dick talking about art but I have you (instsgram) to thank for this new motivation.
I have five pieces so far but when I have enough do you fancy it?
I might even get dressed up in a tutu inspired by Sally @gettingstuffdoneinheels
Shall we get arty farty together?

A first glimpse at a new range of art coming soon

A first glimpse at a new range of art coming soon - For The Chop.
I love the idea that although a painting did not quite make the cut it becomes art by facing the chop.
‘Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures.’ Vincent Van Gogh.
Pretty bloody epic if you think about it.

You don’t know what you have got until it’s go

You don’t know what you have got until it’s gone. Well thank f**k for me the buyer of my printing press dropped out at the very last minute. I was fuming and immediately relisted but this time within a day I had stopped seeing the press as an old friend I had fallen out with and remembered how much I loved her.
I remember the drive to Liverpool to collect her. How could I forget as Mr INPO decided we should all get up at silly o clock and walk up Mount Snowden first - with four kids.
The gorgeous old man I was buying it from didn’t have the strength to turn it anymore and I promised him I would love her. Yet somewhere along the way I pushed all that to the back of my mind and I felt guilty for owning her.
I let my fear of failure and lack of time see the press as an object simply taking up precious space. I started to get angry at the sight of her until I literally felt nothing. Selling her the first time round I had zero regret. When that sale fell through my head started to change the way I felt. I stopped saying the press and went back to calling her her.
It was never her fault and she has been patiently waiting to be loved again. I am not putting any pressure on myself as to when the magic will happen. It could be a Lino print, a collagraph or a mono print. Who knows. She is ready. On a fabulous new stand in my beautiful new studio worthy of her presence.
No reason to tell you. No art to show you as of yet. Just telling you I love her.
She had a name. I can’t bloody remember it. So let’s name her again. Any ideas?

This is my studio!!! I told you I was going to show you the studio from every angle! I wasn’t kidding. I’m in love. This is the writing end.
This is exactly what I hoped for the studio or it would be if those were my tootsies! Somewhere chilled to pen all those books trapped in my head. Somewhere to release all those masterpieces. That’s the plan.
For the moment I have to share my studio with the family which somehow makes this little old shed that bit more special.
However, it is (as you can imagine I like to point out) still very much MY studio so I can enforce the strict no shoe policy and no stinky food.
I chose this beautiful Remy rug from @westelmuk to give a warm homely feel and a spinny chair because who doesn’t love a spinny chair.

We bought the shed from @projecttimber in 2019.
