Hi this is just a quick note to say I’m still busy getting ready for the Needham Market Art Exhibition. Today I’m framing 3 watercolours, 2 limited edition prints and an open edition print.
I’m hoping I have a box of hanging hooks somewhere….
I’m using my new Logan 301s mount (matt- USA) cutter today for the first time. That’s me all over – don’t practice, just decide use it for the first time, when it really matters. Fortunately that approach normally works for me, or I wouldn’t keep doing it, would I?
The above painting of the Andalusian stallion Amadeus is being offered as a limited edition print in the exhibition. (Damn it looks good, if I say so myself!)
I’ve noticed a lot of repeat viewings of the oil paintings Chistoso and Glorious from countries like Poland, Pakistan, Bulgaria, Latvia and strangely enough Canada. It’s been suggested to me people are copying these pieces. So, I’ve removed any photos of those oil paintings from this blog.
I’m looking into digital watermarking to avoid any copyright problems in the future.
I’m also getting a hell of a lot of repeat viewings of the Mother Goose painting. I know there’s a group workshop with a Nursery Rhyme theme going on line somewhere. I’m sort of hoping that explains why that painting is viewed so often.
Speaking of horses I am absolutely gagging to paint some white horses right now. So instead of enjoying this exhibition, as my first love is painting, all I want to do is get painting.
With that in mind I bought myself a large tube of white oil paint, 2 lovely fine bristle brushes (size 12 & 14 flats), a pack of goat hair brushes for blending and 2 palette knives yesterday.
Can’t wait to start painting…

I'm sorry someone is copying. Watermark I think will help. Your work is really stunning I love it! Good luck at your exhibition!
digital watermarking is an excellant idea! many of the blogs i follow that feature photography do the same as a matter of course. a wise move, imho.
I love this painting! Good luck and many sales.

Soooo beautiful Erin! I love the colors and I am so sorry that someone is copying your work. That is awful! I really hope the digital watermarking helps.
Horses carry a wonderful mystique. Look forward to seeing your creation.
