Birmingham ‘Arts Fest’ 10th / 11th September 2011 – Birmingham City Centre

‘Art on the Railings’ – Centenary Square, Broad Street

http://www.artsfest.org.uk/blog/artsfest-2011/

With co artists Karen Arnold and Rebecca Jayne Dolby I took part in this years Arts Fest in Birmingham under the collective name ‘Cocoa Art’ What a great weekend! There was so much going on – and free! Our pitch was near the big stage in Centenary square where all sorts of music and bands were playing – and for an hour on Sunday morning we learnt to salsa dance! Brilliant weekend and very enjoyable.

Karen and I manned the stand and had lots of welcome comments, sales and a few commisions. Here’s to 2012 Art Fest!

Dates for your diary!

Artsfest in Birmingham City Centre  – 10th – 11th September 2011

http://www.artsfest.org.uk/ 

I’ll be exhibiting my work and demonstrating my techniques at ‘Art on the Railings’ in the city centre on both days. Look for ‘cocoa art’ the name for the trio of artists I work with – Karen Arnold and Rebecca Jayne Dolby. Both are brilliant artists and well worth a look. Mine’s not bad either!! We work in various mediums and styles so theres something for everyone.

Look forward to seeing you there!

‘Rockpool’                            Oil & graphite                            FOR SALE

At last the final works from the ‘Rockpool’ series! It’s been interesting to see how each work inspired me in different ways to produce very different studies. I became so involved with this series that I abandoned my other drawings in my explorations! Ahh well – back to the easel!!

Part of a series of work based on a photograph I took last summer in Cornwall which I cropped and produced the first drawing in graphite of a rockpool and shells. From this I continued the series and

each piece is based on the last work in each work, hopefully each piece will gradually change – as ‘Chinese whispers’ in art!

More to follow!
