Exhibition - now ended

I've now got paintings in an exhibition at the Craft Outlet, Springfields, Spalding.

The Craft Outlet is well worth a visit as they have an ever changing range of stock & special offers.

Tulip Radio Canvas

Just delivered our entry to the Tulip Radio Office. Thanks to Wyn, Veronica, Gill, Jon, Bev, Katie, Denise, Mo, Clare & Maggie for their excellent contributions.

There are several finished canvases on their walls making a colourful display. All the entries will be on display at the Pride of South Holland Awards ceremony, 18th June, South Holland Centre.

For anyone who hasn't been following this on the Spalding Arts & Crafts Society Facebook page, the competition is to celebrate the Queen's 90th birthday with a series of canvases, each depicting events from a year of her life. Our year was 2008.

Update - The awards were given out on the 18th June - sadly we didn't win but our entry was Highly Commended, the winner was a timeline collage.

Spalding Art & Craft Society 2014 Exhibition

Ayscoughfee Hall

The Spalding Art & Craft Society are holding their 2014 annual exhibition in the Geest Gallery at Ayscoughfee Hall from the 8th Jan - 30th Jan. Opening hours 10.30am - 4pm, closed Mondays & Tuesdays (the council say it's to save money!) Free admission to the exhibition and the hall.
I have some of my encaustic paintings on display there.

Encaustic Wax Painting

My local art group - Spalding Art & Craft Society - has monthly demonstrations. This month it was Carole Boyer showing us how to create encaustic wax paintings with a hot iron. The second half of the demo was a 'try' session and I must admit I was hooked. These are my first attempts, all done in about 30 mins. The small ones are A6, the larger is A5.

I'll definitely be giving it a go at home once I've ordered the equipment - iron, pigmented beeswax and glossy paper.

Spalding Art & Crafts Society Annual Exhibition

As a member of the society I've got a few paintings in the exhibition - the standard this year from all exhibitors is very good - well worth a visit.
Due to local council cuts the hall and exhibition aren't open on Mondays & Tuesdays but are open the rest of the week and on the Bank Holiday Monday.
