Celebrity Night at the Mall Galleries 2011

Charity Evening in aid the Lady Taverners at the Mall Galleries

I feel I will never catch up on my blog at the moment as life is far too busy and really exciting. I haven't had time to share the amazing images from last weekend yet and this week has seen me racing to London daily for the SWA Society of Women Artists 150th Annual Exhibition.

I had an idea to combine the Lady Taverners of which I am a member with the SWA for a charity event which took place last night. I have been forwarded the following images and I will share my own in another post when I have time to upload them. At the moment I am desperately trying to catch up now on emails and messages from whilst I have been off line.

Many celebrities belong to the Lord Taverners and Lady Taverners and it was wonderful to see such wonderful support at the Mall Galleries last night.

With wonderful friends.Celebrity Nicholas Parsons and his fabulous wife Annie.

Babs Powell, Jean, Joan Morecombe and Robert Powell

With celebrity Angela Rippon and my painting auctioned in aid of the Lady Taverners last night.

I will be sharing more news and photographs on my web site.

The Artist Magazine : Book Review

Jean Haines' Atmospheric Watercolours

"The book is nothing less than a paean to the wet in wet technique. If that's your thing, prepare to be amazed. Jean Haines credits Jean Louis Morelle, and in many ways this book is the sequel to Morelle's remarkable, but very technical work, showing the wealth of creative possibilities the technique offers. A lot of the images are barely recognisable and yet you instinctively know what they are. I wish I knew how, because this is impressionism taken to its logical conclusion and reminiscent of some of the later work by JMW Turner. You will have to take it from me that "First signs of a face appearing magically from a first wash of watercolour" is pure alchemy. This is an extraordinary book."

"Amazing Ways With Watercolour:" Fastest Selling DVD!

"Amazing Ways With Watercolour" from Town House Films is the fastest selling DVD with the company to date! Record breaking pre-orders for this much awaited film saw requests for copies flooding in from all over the world. A wonderful introduction into working with watercolour minus the use of a preliminary sketch this DVD removes the fear, stress or pressure from worry about how to use watercolour. Instead the focus is on having fun, enjoying vibrant colour combinations and allowing the medium to create the subjects with just a little help from the artist. A really exciting new DVD to own. Whilst the DVD sold out in the first few months since its' release due to popularity it is now in stock and available directly from Town House Films.
