Lady Evangeline's Golden Tree

Acrylics on Canvas

 

Okay, I don't know what it is with me and tree's at the moment, I get great comfort painting them, I let
my mind wonder while I am painting the branches which take a bit of time!
I relax and think about life, people, hopes, dreams...

My Tree's are all female..  I never see them as a masculine object..
Why?.. Well..
They are hard on the outside and soft on the inside
They bare fruit
They can protect you but also swipe you with their wrath
They grow and evolve
They are beautiful

I love horses but then I pretty much love all animals, it's come to my attention that most artist
are very fond of animals especially there companion animal

I rarely paint or draw horses, I spent my childhood like so many other girls
drawing and stetching horses so when I really started painting
I didn't want to touch them and apart from the odd one here and there
I have pretty much by passed the whole horse side of the animal kingdom

However today I finished this....

Some Lovely Feed Back

I got a e-mail today with some feedback, I am trying to clear out my studio room and convert it back into a bedroom
I no longer paint that much and doing so is causing a lot of pain not only psychically but mentally too

I know I am doing the right thing with this much to my friends objections, I am not letting my illness beat me I am merely accepting I no longer can paint and moving on to something I can do without pain.

I can't fight anymore I want to relax and enjoy what I am doing!

So I have been selling off some pieces at clearance prices, It's like a plaster if you tear it of quickly it hurts less and this is my plain with my artwork.

The E-mail read...

I am absolutely delighted with the Painting, you've really got a talent. I was also wondering if you will be selling the other items from your clearance and if so can you email me the details as I will definitely like to buy more.
By the way the Internet doesn't do your work Justice!!
Thanks and take care.
D

I love getting such lovely feedback and it confirms that art should be shared and enjoyed!


A nice way to start the day!

I have found it very difficult to paint recently and this was no exception
on the second sitting with it, I forced my self however very soon I became relaxed and
by the end I looked back and felt the achievement!

 

TEN Reasons you should buy hand crafted gifts this Christmas!

 

 

1. You are buying a hand crafted item, painted / made by a real person.
2. You get more choice as no two pieces are the same.
3. Better quality, we are passionate about what we produce and tend to use the best quality materials as this reflects in our work
4. Great value for money, hand crafted / painted items are usually realistically priced
5. Lowering your carbon foot print, cutting out the middle man means less transportation
6. Your item might increase in value or at least hold the same value.
7. Your item will be original and thus you gift will be original, showing you have put some thought and effort in the gift.
8. Keeping jobs and investing local community, the commercial shops already get enough of our money!
9. Supporting home workers, These might be disabled or looking after someone disabled or a stay at home mum.
10. Fulfilling the dream, we live to be creative and can only do this if someone buys the end product.

 

So when you start thinking Christmas shopping how about buying local, maybe going to a craft fair, looking on line at websites.. Think original be original!

 

Ebay is a good place to find original hand crafted items

Google searches with key words Original -  Hand Crafted . local made

   All during the summer / autumn months of 2012, The art gallery in Tetbury have been running a competition for the title of artist of the year. {more Info}
   The first stage of the competition is getting as many 'LIKES' as possible on your artwork via facebook and your on line gallery, at the end of this I was standing in first position in the Best Sellers Gallery. The next stage is to submit Three lots artworks for final exhibition in the Tetbury gallery during December. The winner and two highly commended artists to be chosen by a judging panel. The judges are asked to consider the following: Saleability: Originality: Quality of presentation: Artistic skill.

  Having had a pretty awful year I was almost on the verge of pulling out of the competition because of health and financial issues, when news of a close friends death broke. I had known him and his family for over twenty years during time had become like family, pulling together through thick and thin. He was a man of the land, a legend in his own right, someone I can relate with as I too work with the land and nature, during the funeral a passage was read, which truly inspired me.

 "But someone may ask, 'How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?' How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body." - 1 Corinthians 15:35-38

I returned home and began to paint these Three paintings solely to be exhibited in December at the Art Gallery, Tetbury
