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

‘Next Cab Off The Rank‘

In Liverpool, where I grew up, this is a phrase used to mean ‘on with the next thing’ often quoted by the late, great Paul O’Grady. Well the next ‘cab’, or exhibition, for me is a first… I’m taking part in the very popular Herefordshire Arts Week (H.Arts) 2-10 September and it’s quite exciting!

In our little village of Leintwardine, the historic grade 1-listed 12th century St Mary Magdalene church will be playing host to a collective of 16 creatives who will be showcasing their work from art, ceramics, woodwork, bronzes, millinery plus more. Most work will be for sale too.

Here’s a small selection of my animal paintings that will be available.

Come and visit – there are two venues in Leintwardine – venue 119 which is Lou Lothian’s beautiful pottery and venue 120 the above mentioned collective group in the village church.

Details of all venues and locations around Herefordshire, can be found on the H.Arts web site – just click this link… http://www.h-art.org.uk

See you there!
