It seems like ages since I had time to add to my blog!

There is always so much to do it seems. I have just finished an interview with a wonderful journalist for a feature in a magazine that specialises in dogs.This contact came from my current exhibition "Fur,Feathers and Florals" at the fabulous "Dogs in Art" Gallery in Stockbridge, Hampshire.

It never ceases to amaze me how diverse this art world is, in how many people we reach worldwide with possibly a single painting. My "Five in a Row" Bearded Collie paintings seems to have touched hearts of dog lovers all over the world. Each time it is discussed my lovely dogs Taffy and Bailey are mentioned.

It will be really interesting to read the completed feature and how nice it is that this time I don't have to do the writing! Usually it is me meeting deadlines by putting a feature together for a magazine. So to talk to someone else who is going to write the piece seemed like a holiday.

This is the week for meetings as I am out again tomorrow to discuss a new watercolour collection.

There is so much I would love to share on my blog but time seems to be running away from me lately.

In fact this post is to prove I am still here and that I haven't forgotten to post here!

Huge waves to the wonderful atists I have met recently at demonstrations,thank you so much for coming to see me!

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.
