An Artists Journey " Solo Exhibition" 2012

"An Artists Journey"

Solo Exhibition, June 2012

The Frame Gallery

Odiham

Hampshire

My weeks are getting so busy that it is almost impossible to keep up on my blog. This photograph was taken at the Private Preview of my solo exhibition " An Artists Journey " which runs until the 28th June 2012 at the Frame Gallery in Odiham,Hampshire.

Please call the gallery directly for opening hours as Jan the owner is away this week and the exhibition is open at different times.

Full details can be found on my web site but the solo show is a wonderful success with red dots appearing regularly. The first painting I believe to sell was the owl on the invitation, a favourite of mine and it has gone to a terrific new home along with one of my landscapes of Venice from the same show.

In the photograph are Jan the owner of the Frame Gallery,myself after a week of three private previews and lindsay a fabulous friend of mine who alos bought a copy of my book which I had just signed.

June has been a fabulous month so far, can it possibly get any better? I think it can!

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.
