You will notice that there are also one or two non-Rogue Gene Collective artists included, which really helped to create an interesting and varied exhibition.

I will be writing about the weekend in more detail on my personal blog soon, once this nice weather has gone!

So on Sunday 21st March we celebrated Mother’s Day by  cooking a favourite spaghetti bolognese recipe of ours for my parents. We started the meal with olives, ciabatta bread and an olive oil/balsamic vinegar dip, then had the spaghetti bolognese with garlic bread and finished with a raspberry pavlova – all in all, a very enjoyable evening.

I decided to go completely hand-made for my gifts this year – it’s often tricky finding a gift that won’t be wasted, so I made some more white chocolate and cranberry fudge, the same as I featured in my personal blog at Christmas here.

I also made her a magnetic note-pad, similar to the ones I’ve been stocking in my Etsy shop lately. I stupidly forgot to take a photo of it before I wrapped it up, but it was a combination of gold and green colours very similar to my paintings Green Opulence 1 and Green Opulence 2, with an emerald green ribbon tying the note-pad onto the board itself.

The card I made this year was taken from a web-site I discovered in Stumbleupon and I made a note of it as I really wanted to try it out. The link to the web-site is here, and you can see my version of it in these images:

The threatre owns two lockable glass cases, suitable for displaying smaller artworks. 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.

'A Different Light'

I’ve added two new works on paper to Etsy and my personal site this week. These are entitled ‘Blue Hills’ and ‘A Different Light’ and are from my mini art series. These paintings are created in oil and ink on 300gsm oil paper and focus on the rural/rugged British landscape. As they are smaller (250 x 175 mm) than most of my paintings and unframed they are available at a very affordable price. I have recently sold two paintings from this series to USA buyers on Etsy.
