I have 3 paintings in this Invercargill exhibition that starts in March. It has been organised by fellow NZ Art Guild member Chavah Kinloch. You can see her beautiful artworks here. It’s good to be back on the exhibition circuit for the year. Wish me success!

Interviewed for local newspaper
I have just spent some time with a local reporter. He’s doing a story for the back page of next week’s paper about my forthcoming exhibition in Italy. Laird’s also going to talk about how I am selling art shares in the trip. For more details on how you can be part of the whole exciting project, see this previous post. That post also contains a PayPal button so that if you decide to join in, you just need to click the button. Now I just have to hope the photos he took of me turn out alright!

The four are now finished, strung, signed etc and off to a busy Auckland hair salon for a time. It’s all about keeping my work out there, making sure people see it and see my name. You can read what Alyson at ArtBizBlog says about getting your art of of the studio here.
Here’s the first of them, I’ll save the erst for later in the week when my art room is quiet. This one, titled “Glacial”, is 12×16″ on W&N deep edge canvas.

Getting back out there
I haven’t entered much lately, or applied for many exhibitions either really, compared with what I have done in the last year or three. I’m not sure why. Maybe I was tired, listening to too much recession talk and being a bit lazy. Today I decided it was time I got over myself and got back out there. So I have …
I have booked exhibition spaces, applied for art awards, put my name forward here and there. To keep track of all the due dates etc I have printed out a new timetable that’s now on my whiteboard directly above my work desk. No more excuses!
