"Blue Teapot" by Lynda Cookson

Some paintings, even after being sold many years back, live with you - and inspire you - forever in so many ways. This is one of them for me :-) and I have the actual teapot to this day too!

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.

"Pals for Tea" by Lynda Cookson

I often keep surfaces (paper, board or canvas) from failed paintings and clean my palette knife on them ... or fill them with palette knife strokes of left-over paint. They make interesting backgrounds and props for simple, warm-up paintings. Here's one of them:

"Green Tea Pot"

This is reaching back a few years when some studies and daily paintings were signed TPP as they were done as demos for students of my studio, The Painters' Palette. TPP was the official signature of work produced in The Painters' Palette studio. They sold on eBay at the time (I no longer run an eBay store).

I have always loved tea pots, for what they represent as well as for their shape ... fat and round with useful appendages and an interesting lid to top it off. To me they represent family and friends, comfort and home - and all that goes with that.

So I present "Green Tea Pot" ...

Spring Tea at The Painter's Palette

This Wednesday we're giving The Moycullen Shopping Centre a Spring Tea ... but they don't know it yet!!! On Tuesday we'll give all the retail outlets in the centre a call and invite them to choose tea or coffee and carrot cake, muffin or chocolate brownie ... which we will then serve to them, in their own units, on the morning of Wednesday 4 May 2011. Special Spring delivery. Ah, 'tis good to have fun as the sun makes its reappearance.

 

 

We're also happy to say that the Kids Colouring In at the Artists' Salon Coffee Shop in the gallery is going swimmingly! We've had loads of little hands clutching wax crayons and presenting us with their masterpieces to put up on the wall ... well, on the door into the working studio actually, as that's the only space left!
