Christmas is coming!!

I know it is only September still but can you believe it October is only a week away! So I have had to be thinking ahead to allow time for printing etc and   have come up with two new designs for my charity Christmas Cards. Once again I shall be supporting the Lewy Body Society and £1.00 from every pack sold will go to the charity. For those of you who are not familiar with Lewy Body Dementia you may be interested to visit their web site  www.lewybody.org . So here they are and they will be added to the site shortly. Hope you like :0)

The little gallery opens it's door

With fabulous Autumn weather and sun streaming in through the windows I opened the door of my new little gallery for the first time yesterday morning. I was thrilled to see so many happy faces, familiar and new popping in to say hello and everyone had a kind word to say and shared in my excitement.

For those who live too far away to pop in I have taken a few photographs to show you where I will be spending some of my time over the coming months. Of course most of my time will be taken up in the studio creating more paintings to fill the gallery and to send out to the other galleries I supply, but you will understand why I am so pleased with the result of the family's hard work over the past few weeks.

Take a peek.

           

 

           

 

              

 

                   

 

          

 

I am comfortable - honest!

I just had to share this photo of my daft dog. Martha had her friend Freddy to stay for a bit of a slumber party. He came along with his own bed and overnight bag. After a good long walk and a play in the garden Martha decided it was time for a bit of a snooze, so forgetting she is a Labrador and Freddy is a border terrier thought she would take the pick of the beds, leaving Freddy somewhat bemused, and everyone else amused. She reminded me of Goldilocks trying out all of the 3 bears beds.

My New Little Gallery!

September 19th is a special day. It is the opening day of my new little gallery in Masham. The family have been working hard to decorate and prepare the shop ready to fill it with 'Sunshine and Smiles'. I am so excited that we will be able to hang lots of my latest originals all under one roof. With so many happy and humorous images filling this lovely little building it is bound to be a happy place to work. I shall be sharing the running of the gallery with friends and family who are all as excited as me about becoming part of the community of Masham. We are still dithering about exactly which days we shall be opening but at the moment it would seem Wednesday through to Saturday and possibly Sunday afternoon. More details soon!
