An Artist Journey Exhibition : The Frame Gallery in Odiham,Hampshire

I was hoping to have more time to update my blog this week but it has been impossible to do so. I have two exhibitions in July and August so have been enjoying completing some fabulous new pieces for each show.

I also raced to The Frame Gallery in Odiham this afternoon to fill empty spaces on the gallery walls due to the success of my recent exhibition there. One of the paintings I took in may not reach the gallery wall because while we were unwrapping the particular piece a visitor fell in love with it and it never quite made it to the show.

But the good news is there are now owls, fabulous new florals and many new exciting watercolours for the last week of my exhibition at the Frame Gallery so if you missed seeing the event there is still time to pay a visit.

Full details can be found 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.
