ACEOs

This is by way of a quick catch up and a belated happy 2012 to all of you. For 3 months up until December I was working on the British Art Show 7 in Plymouth - part of a team looking after the artworks and explaining and discussing with visitors to one of the biggest contemporary art shows in Europe.

As a result I've not created a massive amount of work since mid September 2011.

But I have been experimenting with ACEOs - here's a couple of examples -

In short - as miniature artworks - they are incredibly good value for original artworks.

In the UK they are £ 9.30 each (inc postage). Anywhere else just ask and I'll quote on the current exchange rate and postage.

( as a rough guide however - in the US each would be approx $ 15.50 and in Europe 11.40 Euros ... inclusive of postage )

I sold 4 immediately they were posted - which also resulted in me getting a commission for a full size painting so get in quick !  Just email me : mydogateart@gmail.com  no obligation.

I am also back at the bigger canvases again. More soon.

ARGYLE MAN : COMING SOON TO A BIG SCREEN NEAR YOU !!!

ARGYLE MAN

This painting is already on this blog - but the good news is that having submitted this image for the Big Blueprint - this has been commissioned as the next large scale banner (27' x 14') on the back of the big-screen in Plymouth city-centre ( one of only three such commissions)

Needless to say I am absolutely delighted at the outcome and cannot wait to see this looming over the crowds on Royal Parade.

I am also delighted to be following Beryl Cook and Sir Joshua Reynolds - I still can't believe it - and really hope that I can turn this into a major turning-point in my very new career path.

Thanks for all the good wishes and positive vibes when I knew I had been shortlisted.  

BEGINNINGS 1-3

BEGINNINGS 1 - 3 (2008)

PRIVATE COMMISSION - SOLD

triptych

all acrylic on canvas

all 90cm x 30cm

Delivered this afternoon to a happy customer. Thanks very much to Roger for the commission and the enthusiastic response when he saw them for the first time.

Despite the fact that I have sold watercolours before - that was some time ago - so I was quite nervous taking them along this afternoon - especially because Roger gave me a free hand to do whatever design and concept I wanted, the only stipulation being the dimensions of each canvas.

Roger and I are going to wait a week before we discuss the paintings - looking forward to that

So these aren't for sale - they've gone !!

If you are interested in a commission - email me to discuss
