Congratulations! I am delighted to inform you that your work has been selected for Artlink’s Contemporary Art and Craft Fayre on Saturday 28th May 2011.

The Fayre will take place at the Artlink Centre for Community Arts, which is situated at 87 Princes Avenue, Hull, HU5 3QP and will open from mid-day until 4pm. The event is for local talent to showcase their crafts in a well-established venue.

I will of course be taking along my ever-popular hand painted notebooks as well as my range of mini paintings on easels, wooden trinket boxes, magnetic notepads and greetings cards. I may also take some of my smaller paintings if I have room.

Artlink have created  a Facebook event which you can view here.

Here’s an example of some of the work I will be selling:

London by Night

Helen painted the background in acrylics and ink and then sent the canvas to me. I then added the foreground layer in acrylics. This is a unique way of working with no communication between the artists, each adding their own character and inspiration to the painting. The end result is a truly distinctive piece of art.

I really enjoyed the challenge of this piece as the colours Helen chose for the background are unlike anything I would normally use. It made me think a little differently and I am really pleased with the result.

I love chinese and japanese artwork with garden flowers and cherry blossom and was inspired to try a variation of my own. I was also thinking ahead to Spring (wishful thinking maybe!) when there is always a fantastic display of cherry blossom all down my road. The first true sign that spring has arrived and summer is on it’s way. Not long to wait now!

I have entered a few times in the past without success, but I have positive feelings this time – I am entering “3 Wise Men An An Interloper” and  “Red Rocks”. Both paintings are an acrylic/ink media on canvas board and are mounted and framed. I entered them successfully for the East Yorkshire Open Art Exhibition last July so decided to use them again.

I will find out if I have been successful on 4th February, so fingers crossed!
