Summer Exhibition at Oxhey Mill Studios

An awesome exhibition of art at the Oxhey Mill Studios (Stanhope Street - Preston) including a couple of pieces by me. My thanks to Denise Swanson (pictured) and Evelyn Rose (unfortunately not pictured) for placing my paintings in such a great position.

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.
