Hello and welcome to my Blog.
Last week ended in a flurry of activity as
my Wildartdesigns venture began to grow.
On Tuesday night I stayed up very late and built
a new website. It is still in the early stages
but I am happy with how it looks.
I will include the link at the end of this Blog.
Designs and creations using my abstract art
are now on 8 items in a unique range
of small gifts and greetings cards.
I have invested in some display equipment to show them.
My new rotating card display
This is a new venture which is kept separate
from the oil paintings in my Studio.
I have several exhibitions planned for
2019 and I am painting for these.
I shall be taking this new range to
Artisans Markets and Craft Fairs.
Soon my website will also open a shop.
Here are some more photos of my new art designs...
These arrived today
Porcelain mugs with images of my art
and key rings with an image on both sides.
I have been reading Nicholas Wilton’s blog again
and as usual there are ideas which I can use in my practice.
“Starting a new piece can be a bit like traveling
to someplace new without a map - you may know
a little about where you're going, but without directions
it will take you longer than it should to arrive.
With that in mind, when I begin a painting, I
find the best thing to do is to be bold. So if I have
a panel covered in dark paint, I'll then place some
light shapes over it. The contrast in value will
help direct me where to go next.”

I thought about this in my own work and I do agree
with his ideas. It is all about being bold.
There is nothing to lose and a lot to gain.
If it doesn’t work out I can scrape it off and begin again.
Here are two paintings where I was bold.

can make a bold painting
This one is abstract and imaginative.
I loved making these marks.
If you would like to visit my new website...
Until next week...
Thank you for visiting.
