What A Summer!

It’s been a scorcher of a Summer here in the UK. Waking up to blue skies, sunshine and warmth day after day has been wonderful and I’ve been busy with art all through the season. Commissions have been very gratefully undertaken, new work has been created for exhibitions, preparations have been carried out for the Herefordshire Arts Week currently taking place in our beautiful village Church venue 17 www.h-art.org.uk and lots of reference photos have been taken to work on even more new pieces!

The weather is cooling, the days are starting to shorten, the leaves are turning to caramel tones and it’s time to get cracking in the studio again! I’ll post some of my new artworks when they’re ready, but in the meantime, here are a few I made earlier (as the saying goes!)

You can get all the latest news and have a chuckle at my paltry attempts to create short videos clicking the links below – even better, why not follow me on www.instagram.com/rosiemarkartwork or www.facebook.com/rosiemarkartwork

Mini Artworks

I’ve been doing a few paintings on small 5” x 7” canvasses recently and enjoying scaling down – the longest side is about the length of a standard pencil. A good excuse to dust off my tiny ‘000’ brushes. The new smaller sizes mean I can offer a lower price for commissions and sales, yay! That is, as long as the subject will fit on a postcard size format! Here’s a couple of recent examples…

National Pet Day

I think we all need a bit of cheering up now and again in this mad, mixed up world of ours and how better to thank our four (and two) legged friends who always bring a smile and provide unconditional love, than with a day to celebrate them.

Happy National Pet Day!

Dylan

This is Dylan, a commission recently completed for a friend’s birthday of her beloved Springer Spaniel.  He was great fun to do as he has an amazing rock star hairdo!

Oil on canvas to give a soft, hazy effect.
