Slow Down and Look

I am a full-time artist working at home in Stonehaven, N.E. Scotland: selling work as a painter, writer and maker both online and through local exhibitions.

I am trained but prefer to remain UNTAMED, Unframed, Unconstrained and Unconventional. Here you will see art in progress: you can buy my finished paintings etc through the gallery link on the right ~ Bern Ross

Preparing for a Solo

I've got a feel for the atmosphere... I've done the paperwork (I think), I've decided on which paintings to display, have sent off the list and I've made a poster that can be put around wherever it's possible to put posters...

I'm in the middle of making labels to attach to each painting so that they can be identified easily when I'm not with them. It will be interesting to let go of so many of  'my babies' all at once. And it will be hugely helpful in making space within my studio to focus on new work as well as being wonderful to see these favourites in the fabulous setting of the Tarts and Crafts Gallery & community cafe, which is so full of character and deserving of appreciative custom...

Good Friday

I've been quiet on here for a couple of weeks again but that's not due to laziness! Now that I'm the Publicity Officer for South Aberdeenshire Abstracts www.southaberdeenshireabstracts.org.uk/ I've been writing for them and sorting out images for their new website. I've also been been painting and doing some pastel work which I haven't yet photographed or finished; and I've created a few messes which may or may not come to fruition as masterpieces in an unspecified future.
