Now you can tell life is busier than ever by the late blog post. Apologies and hoping everyone is keeping well and the year is going just the way you planned it. 

I am happy to announce that my art career is taking off in leaps and bounds. With the sales of 8 paintings since the year began and I am very thankful to my followers and supporters. 7 sold on Bluethumb and one from an exhibition with the Blue Mountains Creative Arts Network. Please see below the sold paintings and you can find many more at my Bluethumb Website. ​

Totally blown away with the sales and great to have international sales. I will be content for the rest of the year knowing these works of art are now with their lovely new owners. 

I entered two competitions online with a gallery called LightSpaceTime and was delighted to receive 2 awards one from over 600 entries and the other from over 1,000 entries from around the world! See below. 

 I cannot begin to thank all the supporters of my Redbubble art products I have sold hundreds this year is turning out to be amazing. A variety of products have left my gallery e.g. phone cases, aprons, blankets, dresses, prints, t-shirts, bags, puzzles and so much more and it just keeps on going. All my hard work is paying off and I feel honored my art is being enjoyed all over the world on many products.  You will find many more designs available at my portfolio and more added weekly. You can keep up to date with all my sales and news on my daily Instagram post click here:

I really love this website it is an Australian company and has a wide selection of amazing artworks for you to choose from in many formats.  I am delighted to have enjoyed some sales..please see below. 

There is plenty more news to tell but will post next time. In the meantime please stay well. It is also with a heavy  heart that I will mention that my dear father passed away due to covid in the UK it has been a very emotional time. One shining light has been my art. So again I say please stay safe and well. 

Until next time
best wishes

Hi Everyone ☺
Hope you are all keeping well.  It has been a hard and difficult time with the virus situation for many and my heart goes out to all those that are suffering.  We are okay and hope you are too! I have been keeping busy with painting and creating new works for my Redbubble online shop.  Also very happy to have had some painting and product sales at my Redbubble and  Bluethumb  online gallery.  

I have had an amazing response with my face masks - with 50 being sold (including today) and mostly children sizes 8-12 see image below.  Blankets and pillows have also been popular and I never tire of the message from Redbubble informing me of a sale.  I appreciate every sale small or large and it keeps me moving forward on my art journey.  Remember new products are being added from time to time - jigsaw puzzles are now available along with aprons, magnets and pin buttons!!!! 

Happy to have sold a painting from the studio to one of our Airbnb guests, Seaview Cottage which seemed to get the ball rolling with 3 more sales at Bluethumb.  Delighted my All in a Row painting sold overnight and so rewarding when a painting finds a new home.

Happy to announce that I have added a wide variety of works to my Blue Horizon Prints Gallery and there are 80 plus images to choose from that are printed on  a high premium canvas for your wall. Delighted to have sold 2 prints of Jellyfish and Kookaburra Charm.  See below. You can order any of my works in many formats and sizes to suit any wall space. After pay is available also and international orders. 

When time allows I have been enjoying myself designing new art works for Redbubble and I love to create a diverse range to suit all tastes.  It makes my heart sing when someone purchases a product as I know they have connected to it the way I have.  I hope people forget their worries just for a while and stop and appreciate all things nature captured in my painting styles for their enjoyment. ☺

Don't forget to check out my new original artworks at Bluethumb.  Three of my favourites recently painted and uploaded are Quirky Emu Family, Kookaburra Hangout and Cherry Blossom Stroll. Click on images below to view and purchase.  After pay and international orders available.

Great to know we are back on board with an art exhibition coming up soon at The Edge Gallery in Katoomba with BMCAN.  It has been a long time. 3 of my works have been accepted. The Spring Exhibition will run for 3 months beginning 14th September to the 5th December. Pop along and view some beautiful artworks and catch a movie...safely that is! 

Great to see sales of my art designed cushions being sold at Everglades Historic House and Gardens.  With the closure for a few months it was sad to hear no visitors were viewing the beautiful gardens. On opening people were flocking back and hope it stays that way. 




​Well I am sure there is more news that may have slipped my mind but you can keep up to date on my instagram page and follow along for daily art updates.  Until next time please stay safe and take care of each other!

Best wishes and thank you once again for all your support.

I hope you are keeping well. The world has definitely changed since my last check in and blog post. So much sadness with the virus and it will take a long time to recover. My heart breaks for those that have lost loved ones and more. 

Still it seems with people home in isolation they are turning to art to brighten their world and I have seen a lot of product sales at my Redbubble site and thankful to all the buyers of my work.  See below for a selection of sales and more sale images to come in next blog. As you can see there are now face masks available. (Please note: not for medical use)  It cheered me up in these very sad and anxious times to know my work is being appreciated by many around the world! Thank you!!! 
 
REDBUBBLE​

​As you probably have guessed my solo show was cancelled, and rightly so, we all need to be aware of the rules and restrictions placed on us and abide by them if we are to stay safe. However it is still so inspiring to receive positive news and know that people are still connecting to art, it is so good for the soul and I am happy to have sold some paintings recently at my online gallery BLUETHUMB  - see below.  I was delighted to sell Ayres Rock - Uluru and a few days later I uploaded Autumn Memories and it sold overnight! Quickest sale ever and very thankful to the collectors! 

S​o please pop over to my Redbubble site where you will find many new designs available on a wide range of products.  I will finish for now as looking at a blank canvas waiting for some paint.  Please stay well and thank you once again for your support.  Until next time...... love and best wishes Linda 

 SALES of ORIGINALS 
Now where to begin, it has been pretty hectic this end with all sorts of things happening as I am sure it is with most people these days.  I finished 2019 off with a happy ending and sold  a Couple of Galahs on Boxing Day at The Edge Gallery in Katoomba that was on show with the Blue Mountains Creative Arts Network Summer Exhibition. ☺ Thankful to buyer! 

BLUE HORIZON PRINTS
​I am delighted to now be part of a selective group of artists selling high quality prints made in Australia at
Blue Horizon Prints! Please go have a browse at all the wonderful variety and formats available. I am proud to be a supporter of an another Australian Company! Visit BLUE HORIZON PRINTS for more information.

Hope you are keeping well all! Wow! Where has the time gone to?.....it has flown and just keeps flying. Flight must be on my mind as I seem to be partial to painting birds at the moment and have had a couple of bird painting sales since I last checked in and wrote a blog.  I know we are all becoming more time poor these days so will keep this as short as I can.

Firstly so happy to have sold my Quirky Emu at Bluethumb always a buzz when you receive an email to say 'Congratulations your artwork has sold'! Made my day at the time - and then I woke the next day and had another email with Congratulations your artwork has sold! This time it was Friendly Magpie. You can see both below, what a lift it gave me. Sooo happy these two have found new homes and always thankful to buyers of my work. Hope they bring much joy!  You can find more originals for sale at my Bluethumb profile and if interested in keeping up with new works please join and follow me. 
​

Will finish now sorry if it is longer than expected! Remember Christmas is coming so if looking for a unique gift for that special someone, or, for yourself Redbubble offer so many different unique options with the artwork designed by me!! There are also new hand drawn to digital designs available that I have not shown here but please have a peek when you have time at my Redbubble profile HERE.  Until next time stay safe and well and will write an updated blog before Christmas. 
Best wishes as always
LINDA ♥

NEW PAINTINGS
​I have managed to find the time to paint in between my busy schedule of airbnb hosting, family get togethers and the little carer work I do.  It brings me so much joy when I complete a new painting and love to share my work with others. I thought it was time to paint some of the beautiful birds that frequent our garden often and you can see the results below! Both paintings are available at Bluethumb and there is now a convenient way to pay, After Pay! Receive your painting and pay it off in intervals. There are also  more new paintings to see so pop over and take a peek!!

Also delighted to receive a 'Highly Commended' Award for Blue Mountains Twilight with the Blue Mountains Creative Arts Network Winter Exhibition on now at The Edge Gallery in Katoomba. It sure did put a smile on my face! So thankful to buyer. I have three entries in the show so if in the area pop in and view some wonderful works of art, take in a movie and have a hot cuppa!
