From 11th – 26th July there is an exhibition at Selly Manor in Bournville Birmingham by my art club – Studio 302 and I will be displaying some of my work there if anyone lives locally and wants to pop in!

I’m off to Cornwall again for most of the summer, I’ve primed my canvases and sharpened my pencils ready…. if it rains I’ll get lots of work done – if not….. nothing beats sitting in the warm sunshine with a good book!

Watch this space!

Rhossili – Coastal path

Graphite on paper    30 x 19 cm

FOR SALE

Easter in Rhossili – lots of sea views and coastal walks right on our doorstep! Beautiful place to spend a sunny Easter holiday.

A collection of my drawings is currently on display in Quinborne Community Centre, Birmingham until 9th March if anyone lives locally and wants to pop in to see. From the 6th April my work will be shown in Harbourne Library, Birmingham until 5th May.

I’m currently working on designing a bespoke series of wedding stationary with art work – so I’m busy painting and drawing church images, flowers etc at the moment for the invites, order of service etc – work I can’t show until after the summer wedding – so watch this space! (also keep an eye on my website – www.juliemeese.co.uk) for updates!) It’s interesting working to order and producing work to match what others have in mind. When they have chosen which piece of art they like I’ll then transfer the images onto the booklets with chosen wording. I hope they like what I do!!!

I am in the process of building a new website that contains my art + design portfolio. It will be regularly updated and has a modern, easy to use layout -

I wanted to get back to abstraction and this piece was inspired by Holbein the Younger’s painting ’The Ambassadors’  (1533)

I enjoy marking in both graphite and paint and found doing this a pleasant interlude from the deep concentration of my realistic work

Another drawing from my summer spent in Cornwall

This seagull posed very professionally for me on the rocky crop

at the side of mevagissey harbour, he had his eyes fixed on the open sea

as if watching for the fishing boats to come home!

A British harbour or seaside wouldn’t be the same without seagulls -

Mevagissey seagulls love fish and chips – take care or they’ll snatch yours right from your fingers!
