Art at the manor

An art auction held for the Isobella fund. Lots of art from local artists including a piece from your truly. Pims and scones in an English country manor. What could be nicer?

Me at Harris Museum Exhibition

The curator said he wouldn't take these photos unless I could prove the paintings were mine. I thought of passports or driving licences or utility bills. Instead he looked me sternly in the eye and asked me whether these paintings were mine. I said yes without flinching and he took the photographs.

Harris Museum pieces submitted today

Yes, it's that time of the year again. Last year I felt my Harris Museum submissions were a little conservative in subject and small in size. The pieces I've this year submitted are large (48 x 36 inches) and more engaging. I want to be able to see my paintings from the other end of the hall so that I can grin broadly and gesture vaguely in that direction when and if asked what I have submitted.  

There will be a big shindig on Friday 12th with wine and cheese. I have six complementary free invites to the private viewing and am likely to still have them on Friday unless my luck changes. I told the nice lady that I had no friends and she did not believe me which is a sort of complement I think. 

Red balloon or red cherry?

I've started putting images on this website whose name I have temporarily forgotten. This site sells items on which said images have been imprinted. Also big posters but mainly things like duvet covers and iPad covers and other household items. I laughed like a drain when I saw a virtual iPhone cover with one of my paintings on it. The iPad covers are wonderful. Redbubble.com! without the exclamation mark is the name of the company. Do a search on mark peatfield and tap on one of the images to see a cushion with my painting on it. I found this a blast but your mileage may vary.

I listened to Puccini while painting this and a neighbour said she how loved the music because it made her feel safe. I forget the words I used but I began with 'Isn't it strange then how' and  ended with a list supporting the thesis that nearly all popular serial killers listen to classical music. Apparently I like to nip some things in the bud.

Lost inventions and fantastic creations

All installed and ready for Friday. The exhibition is coming together really nicely.

Invite to Lost Inventions Fantastic Creations.

Invite to exhibition in Blackpool. Should be awesome! And I get to reclaim the space in my flat currently occupied by my 'Ego Machine' sculpture. I keep smacking my head on the 'Sphere of awareness'.
