DOGS IN ART GALLERY

Stockbridge

Hampshire

Yesterday was a fabulous day at the Dogs in Art Gallery in Stockbridge. The weather was wonderful and the High Street was full of amazing stalls for the Annual Trout and About Food Fayre. The Gallery held a special "Meet the Artist" event and it was a really superb meeting visitors during the event.

Joy, if you are reading this blog post how lovely of you to travel from Northampton especially for the occasion. I enjoyed meeting you and hope to see you again next year on one of my workshops.

The well loved watercolour "Loved", above, is going to a new home and I met the incredible couple who own, not one but, four dogs. So they completely understood the expression and emotion behind this painting. I love the communication between well cared for pets and their owners. This was a time when the right painting definitely connected with the right new owners.

I will be visiting the gallery in the next few weeks as it is such a fabulous venue.

Dogs in Art Gallery in Stockbridge: Exhibition July 2012

West Highland White

£650

Another busy week and I am preparing for my exhibition which opens at the Dogs in Art Gallery, Stockbridge, Hampshire, UK next week. Of course one would expect all the paintings in this collection to be our four legged friends, but no.Visitors to the gallery will be in for a fabulous surprise because there will be cockerels,owls,flowers and hare displayed in the show. In fact this is a luxury as all my favourite paintings of animals will be in one room with a hint of summer by the colourful flowers around them.

There will be a sense of vibrant colour ,tugs to the emotions, a chance to feel an artists involvement with her work and that sense of passion for watercolour as a medium in each piece.

I deliver the last of my paintings on Friday and then the collection will be hung ready for opening next week. Its' going to be a really unqiue and fantastic exhibition.

Full details will be on my web site shortly

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.
