October art

October was an extremely busy month - leaving very little time to do my own work, although I did dabble with starting festive paper and other such fripperies

What's happening this weekend?

Well,some of my art and I are off on a jolly to 'The Emporium' held in Trawden Hall. So that is Sunday taken care of :)

Have paintbrush will paint!

So .... with a shuffle of my feet ... what have I been up to?

Well quite a lot and quite a lot of nothing.

But with the sun comes inspiration and motivation.

And with deadlines comes effort.

At the end of the month I am part of a mini 'secret' open studios,

in May I am exhibiting at a fayre,

June (...well... I'll explain that later)

August I am displaying and selling at a large agricultural show

and in October is TAM2018.

So, got to get my paintbrushes busy.

Oh, let me explain about June ...

For the last three years I have taken part of 30 Days Wild run by the Wildlife Trust. 

They ask you to post a story a day about the wild life around you.

This year I shall be participating again however with a twist.

I shall be posting an animal painting a day, 

each one will be for sale and at the end of the month 

I shall be sending a percentage of the total sales to the Wildlife Trust.

Each daily post will have a short story related to the painting, 

including the price and the cost of postage and packaging.

Part of me is excited by the adventure 

and most of me is wondering what on earth I have let myself into! 

I will also be sharing the posts on my arty facebook page - kjsutcliffe artist 

Popped in to say hello

Been a little busy recently-

Getting ready for a fair this weekend... 

Going with a group of fellow artists from TAM 

We have nicked named ourselves 

'TAM on Tour'

They are a good group of nutty folk

I fit right in.

Nervous?

Of course! 

Fingers crossed :)
