It fills me with joy and pride to know that other people enjoy having my paintings and creations around them. I've no lofty expectations of being a Turner Prize winner or any kind of esteemed name in the realms of High Art: I create therefore I exist happily, that's all.
I don't always create beautiful things. Sometimes they go wrong. Sometimes the colours are far too rustic or dreary to be loved - that's fine. Art is a process. Sometimes I blow even myself away with producing something great, so the adventure goes on.
Quite by surprise I sold this lovely little textile, tactile canvas last week. The buyer was in my studio for something else (buying a semi-abstract similar to For Ever and Ever at the top of this blog) and wanted this too. She has found a perfect home for it in her house: hanging on a mirrored alcove.
This person enjoys having things she loves surrounding her in her home and I'm happy she's chosen some things I've produced. That's what art is all about.

That was a nice surprise! I love the extra dimension the net gives. Did you stitch into the waves? x
Thank you! Er, no I didn't stitch the waves on this particular one but I've used stitching as part of the image/ waves in other similar little canvases. They are in my online gallery too.
I love this one, Gern....you should do a series of them...from the coast around Stonehaven

Several more to come, Bos... [sic!] Inspired by Scotland of course.
