STUDIO AND GALLERY

With our airbnb having a lull a while ago I popped the art signs out and was totally blown away with the amount of visitors I had over a course of a few days.  People were itching to be out and about and I was lucky enough to greet over 30 people and sell a wide range of art products and paintings.  See below. (Sorry for the all the sold signs as these images are from instagram posts) As you can see a lot of art products left the studio and I hope to open up again when another quiet time arrives. 
Picture
This painting was bought for a little boy by a workman that looked in my gallery whilst here. It came with a poem that he had me write on the front with his boy's name and said he cannot wait for his baby boy to grow up and tell him the story of how he found this painting. Very special.

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.

Hi Everyone
Hope you are all well! Firstly apologies for late blog post.  As everyone knows it is a difficult time for all with the invisible virus we are all facing, and my thoughts and love go out to all those who have been affected and thankful for the all the medical teams that we can rely on. Please stay safe and take care everyone! 


​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!

 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!

A Couple of Galahs sold at The Edge Gallery - thankful to buyer!
2020 started off with a sale of my 'Emus - Watcha Lookin' At?' on Bluethumb. Sold to a lovely lady with twins, a boy and a girl. Always a delight to hear the story behind the sale.  The painting was chosen by her children and now hangs at the top of the stairwell to encourage everyone to smile which is the aim of all my Fun Birds in this Series.

​COMMISSION
I had my very first request for a commission on Bluethumb to paint Cheeky 
Cockatiels
 (available on Bluethumb) on a larger scale. This was exciting news for me and also a challenge that I took on straight away. Thoroughly enjoyed the process and the interaction was easy for both parties.  I organised to deliver the painting myself seeing as we frequented the area where the buyer lived and happy to say she was delighted with it! Was great to receive an email of a photo of it in situ framed and on the wall for all to admire. It was the biggest commission to date and the size was 91cm x 91cm.​ Here I am below so as you can see the scale of the painting. ☺

Two Cheeky Cockatiels sold through Bluethumb Commission so thankful to client!
I had a lovely request by a lady through Bluethumb wanting to view Govetts Leap Lookout as a gift for her friend's wedding. They had met in the Blue Mountains so the area is very special to them.  After viewing the painting it was purchased from the studio.  Seeing as I am exhibiting for all of April at the Blue Mountains Heritage Centre in Blackheath (on Govetts Leap Road) another is now being painted in a similar style.

PAINTING SALES

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.

 NEW WORKS - BIRDS

So as I was saying birds are on my mind lately and seeing as another Quirky Emu had flown away, I wanted to attempt to try and paint 2 on a canvas on a larger scale. One day when time allowed I grabbed my brushes and splashed away and when finished I was so pleased with these 2.  I really do hope my Quirky Emus make you smile, they do me. These 2 cute, happy birdies are painted on a 61 x 61 cm canvas on a plain white background so they can enjoy the limelight.  Click HERE for more information or email me ☺ lindart@mail.com 
Picture
As I enjoyed painting the above quirky emus very much I bought another canvas same size and painted 'Kooky Kookaburras'! What fun I had with these 2 below and I am now thinking of another pair of cute characters to paint. Made my day also when I received an email yesterday (12th Oct) saying they had been featured in the Staff Picks at Bluethumb! See below for my Kooky Kookaburras and if interested in more information click HERE  or email.

NEW PAINTING - SNOW AT KATOOMBA CREEK, BLUE MOUNTAINS

I may have mentioned before in an earlier blog, but I can't remember, that we had snow in the Blue Mountains this winter. It was like a fantasy wonderland and I took lots of photos, I ran around madly clicking excited to have lots of lovely photos for references. I have painted one already that is mounted in a beautiful wooden Australian crafted frame and is available for sale at my Bluethumb profile - click HERE or email me direct. I have plans for a large Blue Mountains painting of the The Three Sisters in Snow but first things first I have to buy the canvas and hope it will fit in my car!  However I am still wrapped up in my bird paintings and will be painting some more of those first. So stay tuned...see below latest painting added to my Blue Mountains Series. As you can see there is lots of juicy detail in this one as I like to focus on the little things in nature that we sometimes miss in the rush of life.

FLOWERS FOR YOU - MAGPIE Acrylic on Canvas 31 x 31cm
Been so inspired lately by the views of the Blue Mountains and can you believe we had snow recently! Jumped in the car and took off to have a play with snowballs and took some amazing photos. Stay tuned for a new large canvas on the Three Sisters with Snow! I have recently completed a new painting of Govetts Leap Lookout as shown below. Painted in my colourful, detailed style for you to enjoy on your wall every day. Click on image for more information!

Well I think that is all for now folks! I will be having a little break away for a few days and then will be back at it in the studio painting! Please pop in from time to time to see what is happening in my world of paints, brushes and designing.  Until then stay safe and well and thank you once again for all your support.

ART TRAIL
Firstly apologies for not keeping up to date with my blog, I do note in my stats a lot of people popping in to read what I have been up to so thank you!!!   Well as usual my art has been keeping me busy in a great way with meeting lovely people at the studio open weekend and also selling some products.  Although it may have clashed with the Leura Festival this year I still had over 30 people popping in, even if it were to say hi, so very thankful to be able to share my art world with whoever crosses my studio/gallery door on the trail weekends. Below are some photos of the enjoyable weekend and some product sales. Don't forget the lower mountains will be holding their trail in October this year with the Blue Mountains Creative Arts Network.

Happy to announce I sold a painting on Bluethumb recently! So very thankful to the South Australian buyer - photo below. It was a small framed watercolour from my Tree Series called 'BLISS' and it really made my day when the message came through!

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!!

HIGHLY COMMENDED AWARD

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!

So think that is all for now. Will be choosing paintings for the Springwood Artfest coming up soon in August it is over a weekend and dates are 2nd (opening night)  3rd and 4th. So keep the dates free as it is a fabulous show with so many creative works on display. Until next time keep well, safe and happy ☺ 
Best wishes
