Fairies, Fairies, Fairies …..

Lots of commissions this month so far !!! And lots of them are fairies ……

These three themed fairies I have just finished.

They were a commission a lady who has already bought miniature art from me showed her daughter one of my fairy art paintings and her daughter asked me to paint one for her, the mop and bucket was her idea and I know she has a new puppy so I thought I’d do these for her to choose from and she is having them all !!

Would you like to commission a Fairy with a theme maybe.

Miniature Art is not just for dolls houses or ACEO Collectors this size which is 3.5 x 2.5 inches ( frames are 3 x 4 inches) are great as unique collectible art and make wonderful gifts too.

I also recently painted these four fairy pieces, Ocean and Sapphire fairy have sold and are in a collection of miniature Art in Wales ……. I do lave painting these fantasy pieces my imagine can just flow with the Wax …..

If you would like a fairy painting in miniature painted especially for you please get in touch.

Southend Art Exhibition : March 2014

Local Art @ the Cliffs Pavilion Southend

This weekend has been great fun !!! Showing some of my Art In Wax and viewing some amazing art by local artists at the Southend on Sea Art Club “Spring Exhibition of Paintings”.

We, Adrian and I attended to the private viewing and reception opened by Sir Teddy Taylor on Thursday Evening which had a wonderful turnout, we got to see the art on display, over 300 pieces and a great mix of subjects and styles in all sorts of medium ….. we have some very talented artists in this area and they were on show in all their glory this weekend.

This was my first time showing Art In Wax in a large exhibition like this and my pictures were the only Encaustic Art works in the show, it was great to talk to people about working in hot wax.

Local Artists

It was good to meet some of the artists, Pauline Grove, who I have met before was there with some of her wonderful pieces, also great to see in person some of the work I have only seen online before through connections on Facebook, such as the work of Sharon Stone and Lori Wiseman who have kindly given their permission to show a couple of their pieces from the exhibition in this blog post.

Artist of the Month

Artist of the Month : Southend Art Club March 2014

There is a bit of excitement here @ Art In Wax as I am the featured artist for March at the Southend Art Club.

Last year I joined the Southend Art Club and was recently asked if I would like to be “Artist of the Month” for March 2014 and I was delighted to accept.

Southend Art Club

The Southend Art Club has a long history in the town and was established in 1929. Then known as the Southend Art Circle it was set up to promote art in the Southend area, a change of name to The Southend Sketch Club came later in 1969 renamed again as it is today Southend Art Club (SAC).

Featured Art In Wax

There are a selection of my encaustic paintings included on the SAC website in the Artist of the Month feature. Including some of my hot wax pictures on gloss card and some of my wax on wood pieces.

Spring Exhibition

March also sees the SAC annual Spring Exhibition at the Cliff Pavilion, I have blogged about it if your would like more information : Southend on Sea Art Exhibition March 2014
