"Rollers" by Lynda Cookson

For us here in the northern hemisphere our thoughts are starting to turn - quite early I might mention! - to the beach and waves and sunshine. With sand between our toes. We've had no winter to speak of at all here in Brittany.

"Rollers" is a little painting I did as a demo for a student so I've put it up on Etsy for absolutely next to nothing.

"Summertime" by Lynda Cookson

It's hard to believe that it's been two weeks since I've had a chance (and the energy in this heat!) to write a few words and upload another painting. Time flies for sure when you're having fun.

Life is full of extremes it would seem ... it always seems to be cold Winter or hot Summer. What happens to balmy Spring and cooling Autumn? They zip by without even a greeting some years. We're either not doing things around the house and garden because it's too cold and icy, or we're wishing we weren't doing things around the house and garden because it's too jolly hot!

In the spirit of heat, here's ...

Open Studio

Living in such a small space as we do now in our "old age"... (Okay, I should remove those inverted commas around "old age" because although I don't feel it, I think one of us in our mid sixties and the other in his early seventies, is actually considered being in your old age. Sigh.)

To finish that first sentence about a small living space, I've sorted all my work which can either be sold or given away, and set it all out in our motorhome! It's become my Open Studio even although it serves as our only car as well. We don't go out much in summer - too hot for both me and Bridie the German Shepherd - so why not?

My acrylic abstract pendants are there, along with glass painted tea light holders, mini paintings on mini easels, abstract acrylic vases, mountboarded paintings and framed paintings. The whole shebang.

Now to make myself a sign.

These are a couple of the paintings, and some of the pendants, on show there.

Charcoal Line Drawings on Abstract Monoprints

I have been having fun sorting paintings from my stock. They've been packed away for a while and are only being brought out now for some Open Studio days during summer.

Here's a rather different collection of 4 Charcoal Line Drawings on Original Abstract Monoprints.

During a couple of life drawing classes a few years back I found two of the models to be rather grumpy in temperament which put me off formal drawings. Instead I produced comical line drawings to counter their grumpiness. Later I repeated the ones I liked onto original abstract monoprints.
