A note about the Gecko paintings













I feel I should explain here that with these three I am returning to my dreamtime theme and these were painted as a triptych. Of course I can sell them separately, but they will always be linked.

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!!

Starving artist post

Did I mention these are for sale as part of my 'Painting Each Day' series. I will be picking the 8 best so far to go in an exhibition in a couple of weeks, so early birds will catch the worms :-)

Each one is signed and dated with the day it was conceived and painted.

To be honest, I am desperate for some more big canvases for my dreamtime series of paintings as (fingers crossed) I could get some gallery interest...so I need some funds for materials.

So .....roll up roll up and get a completely unique and one-off Christmas gift or just to treat yourself, as I won't be repeating any of these. ..........and......Think how much they'll be worth when I peg it. :-)

Day 3

What on earth possessed me? This is harder than it looks. Especially when you have young kids rampaging the house.

This is Day 3. Red Gerbera. 15 x 15 cm acrylic on canvas paper, mounted (25 x 25 cm) and backed ready to frame £40.

Gerbera, next to lilies, are one of my favourite flowers. I find them fascinating...the shape, the imperfect symmetry. and their dogged determination to survive in the harshest of conditions.
