Dogs in Art Gallery Exhibition : Stockbridge 2012

I have a wonderful week ahead to look forward to.

I will be collecting my new dogs in watercolour from thr framers which will then be delivered to the Dogs in Art Gallery in Stockbridge. Above is a Basset Hound I painted a while ago and it has become a very popular greting card design which is available at the gallery along with my other four legged friend card designs.

I visited the gallery this week and have been asked for a collection of paintings that cover my favourite subjects including florals.

This show will house paintings I love that have given me so much joy to create. There are favourites I am torn about keeping for my Private Collection. The pieces all contain an emotional connection and really are part of who I am as the artist who adores dogs, feathered friends and vibrant colour combinations.

The body of work will be hung next weekend and on show for the first time the week after next.

This is a fantastic gallery that is full of incredible sculpture and interesting objets connected with the canine world and more.

This is a show not to be missed and the location is well worth a visit also.

Full details will be on my wbe site soon and the location can be found via this link

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.
