As a Freelance Artist I have had some interesting jobs over the years. I exhibited and helped to run the old Wallingford Art Gallery.I painted flowers on cushions for "Ladys Daphnes" shop in Sloan Square.
I have fun painting portraits of Dogs, some of the portraits are used for lead hook plaques. an owner sent me a photo of their Spaniel which had been for a swim and clearly been rolling in mud, "could I paint him clean" !!
I taught Art for some time in a Prison which was interesting and very rewarding helping people try something different. noticing the Tally I wore on my belt an inmate said "Gosh Miss you must have been bad to have been here ten years".!
Painting Birds on wood works really well getting them to fit in with the grain and knots can create an unusual piece of Art work. Taking my Bird work and having a Table at Craft Fairs has been good but of course nothing has happened this last year.
and of course I always enjoy getting ready for Oxford Artweeks, getting new work togther is great fun and looking for new projects.
