Bit of a break

I am about to start two more commissions of shoes. I have had a bit of a break ...and now it's time to pick up that paint brush. Hope you like the ballet shoes. Gouche/watercolour on board.

Commission of 'First Shoes'

I will upload a series of 'work in progress' photo's of my commission 'First Shoes' I was pretty pleased with the way it turned out; more importantly so was the person who commissioned it!
Bad news on the exhibition front. So many Art Galleries are council subsidised and the funding is being chopped, which puts several respected outlets at risk. PAD in Preston is for the chop. The funding of the LAN (Lancashire Artists network) has also been withdrawn...grim times...never mind, I will keep on keeping on.

Little Miss Shoes

Both my exhibitions are finished and the next isn't until Sept - December in Accrington. I am also waiting to heat from PAD in Preston about an exhibition for the new year, but they are not prepared to commit until council funding is approved...um might be a problem is this current financial climate.

All the work I have sold or had commissioned has been for shoes and to continue I am now targeting shoes manufacturers and select retail outlets. Let me know of anyone who wants a pair of shoes painted. Children's first shoes, wedding shoes, whatever...I am quite happy to do a painting of an old pair of wellies!

This is the rough layout for my latest commission...three pairs of start-rite 'first shoes' all from the same family and the same style and size!

Artwork in the window display at Arteria

Arteria in Lancaster have placed my car artwork in the window. This is in recognition of Father's day. I do hope they manage a sale or two...father's day cards on sale too.

Classic cars, shoes and detailed watercoloured commissions welcomed. Take a look at my artwork www.lindapage.co.uk.

Back to cars

Hope you like the Lagonda 1937. I am painting this from a photo, the reflection of trees etc. on the bodywork is truly amazing, I just had to try and capture it in watercolour. It is taking ages to do.

The Arteria exhibition is now in it's second week. Do go and have a look if you are in Lancaster. Apart from my cars and shoes there are several artists exhibiting, a variety of disiplines from pottery to photography.

I am now on the Yessy site trying to sell my work, take a look www.Yessy.com/lindapage21

The exhibition for Arteria is ready. I delievered the ten pieces of work to them last tuesday.The invitations for the private viewing have been posted today.
I am now working on a painting of an Indian Goddess.

I hope to have further exhibitions soon. The next move is to get selling on the internet.

The photo is 'work in progress'

Please do come and see my work.

I will be selling prints, originals and postcards of my shoe illustrations , with an emphasis on ballet shoes, although Ludus specialize in contemporary dance the ballet shoe is an interesting subject and carries a certain charm.

I have completed one commission so far and am looking to do more in the future.

Another one in the offing I think, two actually!
