Catching up

I have some more paintings to show you. But it won't be till later as I am in bed poorly with the laptop for company.

So now would be a good time to tell you about the Saatchi.

'My Soul to Keep' is currently highly ranked in the Saatchi Online Gallery Showdown.
Basically, the Saatchi Gallery invites artists to submit images of their work and website vistors from all over the world review and rank the paintings.

Voting takes place for a week then the 2 highest ranking enter a 'showdown' where one is chosen by vote. Each of the showdown winners (they happen every 2 weeks) will exhibit in the new Saatchi Gallery in London when it opens early next year (massive massive Art World event).
The standard is extremely high and so you can imagine I am thrilled that the painting is doing so well ..in fact voting opened on Monday and already it has over 1000 votes.

You can link to it here:

Its quite exciting seeing how the rankings go and the voting will end midnight on Sunday. Fingers crossed!!
