Having built up a supply of mini canvas and easel paintings, I am also hoping to take a fair few smaller sized paintings from my existing stock as well as create some new ones.

Painted all over with a metallic blue acrylic paint, I then glued some metallic blue cord in a spiral shape and filled each segment with various beads and dots of acrylic white paint. It was only when I’d uploaded it and was varnishing it, however, that I noticed it bears a resemblance to a collaboration painting done by fellow RGC artists Kosana Marton and Andrea Farmer. I must have had the image of their painting in my sub-conscious mind for ages without realising it!

Here is my latest creation, “Mutable Cell I”. It is 7 x 5 inches.

I think it rather resembles “Sensuality” -which can be seen here on the RGC website. Although that was not my intention as I started creating this piece, it shows what an impact art has on you whether you are aware of it or not.

Most of the paintings from my works on paper collection are on display plus a few from my mini art collection and a few larger coastal landscape paintings on canvas board. I’ve also included several items from my wearable art collection – colourful corsages and button pin brooches. This eclectic exhibition runs until the end of March 2010 and all works are for sale.

I managed to snare a Treasury on Etsy yesterday afternoon. Creating a Treasury is tricky in itself as there is a limit to how many lists Etsy allow at any one time, and the window for grabbing one is small. However, after much patient Etsy watching – I got one! I decided on the theme of ‘Small is beautiful’ and included twelve of my favourite items currently for sale on Etsy with a neutral and blue theme.

My ethereal landscape painting ‘Blue Hills’ from my mini art series is included. Also included are Rogue Gene artist Helen Davison’s piece ‘Candy Cake’ and artist Peter Williams’ horse ACEO.

Etsy Treasury lists are live for approx two days. Be quick and catch it here: www.etsy.com/treasury_list_west.php?room_id=86121

"Textured Heart

In case you hadn’t noticed, Valentine’s Day is not far away now. I have got several small items for sale in my Etsy shop that would be perfect gifts for such an occasion! The most suitable is my “Textured Heart” mini art painting on canvas and matching trinket box that is pictured here.

Available either singly or as a matching set, I’m sure they would be appreciated as a gift of love! These creations would probably be appreciated more by women, especially the ones like “Candy Cake”.

Don’t miss out – order soon to be in time for the big day.

Candy Cake

I’m also waiting for several other 2009 exhibitions in Essex to be confirmed. More shortly. If you wish to keep up-to-date with my exhibition list, then please follow the page on my personal website: www.andreafarmer.co.uk
