You may think I have been somewhat quiet of late and with regards to this blog page I have.  However, this is not so when it comes to my artistic activities.

Last week with lots of help from Amanda Stone-Outen I set up my exhibition at Starlight Studio Art and I gather so far my work has been received well with sales of smaller items.  My bright colourful work sits well in this small but perfectly formed space.  Mandie has created a beautiful calming space full of lovely eclectic things to see and buy, you can enjoy looking whilst enjoying some wonderful organic juice and or cake.  Her lemon Drizzle is to die for and gluten free too.

I also have many other irons in the fire with work already starting on a group for the Wylie Valley Art Trail in Wiltshire 27 May-4th June, 2017, plus I have plans for Open Studios from home during November and I will be showing work at The Good Gallery in Frome during December.  So life is really rather busy.

Alongside this I’m also looking at creating new images for my portfolio and having a general overhaul of everything.  So if I am not writing much this is why, I am not and never have been Superwoman!

It’s been a very busy time with I am afraid little painting being done but lots of ideas bouncing around and spending lots of time with the children, which is a full time job.

July kicked off as usual with the Frome Festival and the Artists Open Studios which for me went very well, over the two weekends we had over 500 visitors and many who returned from previous years and yes bought things which was brilliant.  I’m already thinking of how things can be organised for next year!

I’ve also taken over managing the Friends Scheme for Black Swan Arts in Frome (www.blackswanarts.org.uk) so there will be lots to do for that and we are planning a regular “plinth” exhibition featuring a different local artist each month.

In November there is the Frome Decorative Arts Exhibition coming up so lots of planning is going into that too! I’m teaming up with Kate Cochrane and Chris Talman to bring hopefully a really inspiring display. Dont’ miss it! www.fromedecorativeartsexhibition.co.uk

Wookey Hole, Phoebe's Birthday

Inigo and Phoebe at Bristol Zoo

We’ve done a lot of visiting and trips, Bristol Zoo, Norfolk to visit my mum, Great Yarmouth to visit old Art College friends, Woodstock for a super treat weekend, more very good food, Wookey Hole for Phoebe’s birthday, Lyme Regis for a few days and shortly off to Yorkshire.  I had a big birthday this year – no I will not say which one, work it out.  However, I was royally treated to a lovely trip to Bath, staying at The Milsom Hotel (fantastic fish in the restaurant) and visiting the Theatre Royal to see “The Madness of George III” which was fantastic.  Very interesting that in the same week we had popped down to see friends who are staying in Lyme Regis where Kate Adams is appearing in “The Salty Socks of Dunkirk”.  two very different pieces of theatre but both wonderful.  If you get a chance to catch Salty Socks on tour, then do, really great fun, thought provoking and the kids enjoyed it too.  What more could you want.

Finally we have had family gatherings, impromptu parties and lots of visits from friends, so a busy but satisfying time.  The children are both starting new schools in September so I will really relax once they have settled in.  But for now on to Yorkshire for lots of walking, Kilnsey Show, good friends, good food (more) and good fun.  Aren’t we lucky!
