Choosing Your Artwork

People have asked me, is it best to choose art to suit your room, or, do you buy it regardless, because you love it?

It's a good question and there's no simple answer to it.

Choosing the right artwork for your room can be tricky as not only does it have to 'speak' to you, and be the right colour, but it needs to set the right tone to your room. But, if you fall in love with a piece of art you will find a way of making it work. You could set it up to make it work - especially if you are planning to spruce your room up.

Have a look below you will see the different effect each painting has in the same room.

"Exciting New Vibes: Sneak Peek at My Biodiversity Series!"

I have new paintings, a new series, and with a new medium (for me anyway). This series of art embraces Biodiversity and the normal life that we can take for granted. I have two so far and they are on sale now and part of the Christmas Pre Sale.

WHAT'S HAPPENING ON MY WEBSITE

From December 2023 to February 2024 I was unable to access my website - you can imagine the stress that would cause.

To make things even more difficult my computer crashed and burned. I had then to reinstate a new (secondhand) computer.

That was just the beginning.

Getting myself back on track retrieving computer files and my website took a lot of time and effort. Thankfully, I am back on track and now using this opportunity to making changes to this website to make it a more enjoyable place for you to visit.

Along with many changes made here you will notice a lot of new products in the 'Shop'. These have resulted from the "Art Alive" exhibition where items where bought in to complement a range of paintings. Some items are more directly linked than others, as you will see.

Overall, these last four months have been quite challenging. However, the goal now is to enable an online access to my gallery all year round. I hope you are enjoying it.

GALLERY HOURS

The Gallery will be closed after Easter Saturday, 19th April 2025, thus ending the season. It then Re-opens on Labour Weekend, the 25th October 2025 and will remain open until Easter Saturday 2026.

The hours will be 1pm- 4pm every Saturday and Sunday.

The gallery accessibility is weather dependant and, therefore, will not be open if it is raining.

TIPS: Making the Most of your Artwork

· Let Your Art Shine: De-Clutter and Style Your Space!

· Is your wall colour the right choice to compliment your art—sometimes it can be a subtle change of colour to bring out the colours in your painting and at the same time freshen your area.

· Hang your art so that it looks balanced on the wall. The Rule of thumb is for the centre to be eye level but consider to size and balance too.

· To avoid holes everywhere cut our a sheet of paper the same size as your painting and use Blu Tack to attach it to where you think the painting would suit—then you can stand back and judge.

· Use the ‘hangers’ that come with your painting as they will have been supplied to hold the weight and proportion of your artwork.
