6/11/2020

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!!!

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!

JAN/FEB NEWS AND SOLO SHOW

3/1/2020

SOLO SHOW - UPDATE DUE TO THE VIRUS MY SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED PLEASE STAY SAFE ALL!
Firstly a belated Happy New Year to All! Hope you had a wonderful festive season and apologies for this late blog. I am excited to announce that I will be holding a solo show at the Blue Mountains Heritage Centre in Blackheath, Govetts Leap Road for all of April 2020. Show opens 2nd April and runs until the end. There will be a wide variety of art for all to enjoy. So all art lovers pop along if you can and also take in the stunning views at Govetts Leap Lookout!

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.

Emus - Watcha Lookin at? sold through Bluethumb thankful to collector

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.

Govetts Leap Lookout - SOLD through Bluethumb - Thankful!

I have been trying to find time to paint in between work, our airbnb and visitors from overseas staying with us for a week! Also my husband, John retired at Christmas time and we will be spending more time together and I will keep on track with my art when I can. I have been painting some birds as part of a Fun Bird Series and also felt drawn to paint Koalas after the bushfires in Australia. Below are new paintings available now at Bluethumb.

September/October News - SALES, NEW WORK, EXHIBITIONS

10/12/2019

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

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.

SPRING EXHIBITION AT THE EDGE GALLERY WITH BMCAN

The Spring Exhibition is on now at The Edge Gallery in Katoomba - you can see me below holding my soft flowing Tapestry of Leaves that captures nature in a graceful style. Here I am in my studio. I also have 2 other paintings hanging on the gallery wall. So if in the area and want to catch a movie and view some lovely works of art please do! Photo a bit blurry sorry but you get the idea. Happy to have sold my Rainbow Lorikeets at the Winter Exhibition.

I will have 4 of my works on display and for sale and the other is Blackheath Rhododendron Festival Art Show on 25th - 3rd November. I will have 3 of my artworks on show and for sale. Please pop along if in the area and feast your eyes on a beautiful display of art from a diverse range of talented artists.

Hi All hope you are well! Another month has slipped past fast and hope it has been a good one to you.
As I juggle life and art it can become rather challenging but also enjoyable. After all I have to keep my creative soul happy. ☺

To begin with it was a wonderful exhibition at GalleryOne88 and a great time was had by all, it was such a pleasure to exhibit in one of the most amazing galleries in the mountains. See below for photos. These paintings are available for sale at my Bluethumb profile, although one is ready for the exhibition at The Edge Gallery, details below!

SALES

We also run an Airbnb here next to my studio called ' Merinda Skies' and it has been increasingly busy with the lovely weather we are having in Australia! Had a lovely couple stay who sent me a message early one morning wanting to purchase one of my paintings. Of course 'sleepy head' missed it and when I replied they had booked out but insisted they would purchase at my Bluethumb profile. Yay!! they did later that day so happy and thankful to know it is has a nice new home.

Had a lovely surprise one day when a friend from down the south coast was travelling through and popped in with her friends. One lady was captivated by my 'Nature's Tears' work of art. The original had sold so she purchased a print.! One never knows when someone will connect with your work and it is always a lovely feeling knowing when a person does,

Redbubble has been a little quiet of late but I have still enjoyed some sales and I am thankful for every one big or small. It is such a pleasure to know my products are travelling around the world and I can thank the buyers and Redbubble for making it happen, oh and I do contribute myself ☺ See below for a selection of recent sales. Don't forget to visit my Redbubble profile for NEW works that have been loaded and are available on many products.

NEW PAINTINGS!

Most of them are small framed artworks that would compliment any wall on their own, or as a collection. This is definitely 'art from the heart'.

'Mystical Trees' is a new work of art painted on canvas in misty purples, blues and pinks. Bring nature inside and enjoy the connection every day. Best viewed enlarged so head over to my Bluethumb profile and check out all the wonderful detail of every leaf!
