Continuing with the plan to get more work out there in places other than galleries, here’s some New Site Specific work made for a local coffee shop smaller oil paintings made on raised stretchers.

Off Beat
Some art work placed in a high street shop in my local area that sells all sorts of things for the home. I’m trying to find ways of getting paintings seen and hopefully sold in places other than galleries.
The second time of trying to get it right. If we want people to buy artwork then it has to be seen in places other than galleries where often the prices asked are completely out of reach of people who might otherwise think it might be cool to have some original work. As the galleries often keep the difference, I thought it was worth a try anyway. Selling online is also a good option but when it comes to paintings people often tell me they want to see the work IRL. before making up their minds.
Price range: £150 – £190 – exclusive of the shop’s commission – three of the works are framed one isn’t – it will be interesting to see if people state a preference. I never normally frame my work, so finding this a bit uncomfortable. (Adding frames also makes it more expensive, depending on how you do it of course).
Merry-Go-Round
No.15 in the series of art-music collaborations, where the images and music take no precedence over each other but instead are intended to be seen as a whole.

Twitter Art Exhibit: Moss is an international exhibition of original postcard art benefiting Home-Start Moss, a nonprofit organization helping families in need. Home-Start believes that every child deserves the best start in life. By matching experienced volunteers to families with young children, Home-Start provides support that is free to the family, confidential, and based on individual needs. Volunteers do not make judgements or tell the parents how to live their lives; instead, they try to encourage confidence and independence, and help families build their own networks of friends and other support.
Twitter Art Exhibit: Moss is the fifth instalment of an open international exhibition of handmade postcard art for charity, donated by hundreds of participating artists from around the globe.
Social media plays a major role in Twitter Art Exhibit. It is our intention to tweet, share, seed and promote our artists to thank them for their participation, and to make this event a huge success.
The event will be highly publicized and well attended by art buyers and enthusiasts, members of the press, local artists and the community, as well as by the staff of Home-Start Moss, and the families they support.
