{the wrap}

My exhibition 'Acts of Love' wrapped up last week.  For those of you who didn't have the opportunity to visit I thought you might like to see some of the work. Below are all the sold pieces.

Belonging

Acrylics and spray paint on canvas

Some dear friends that I hadn't seen for about 15 years came along to opening night and purchased this piece.  It meant so much to have them there and I'm even more delighted that they decided to purchase some of my art.

An Act of Love

Acrylics on canvas

10 x 10 inch

There's a great story about this piece.  I wrote a post about exercise in October last year comparing it to painting, and used this painting to illustrate the post.  My personal trainer visited the exhibition alone one day and chose this piece to purchase.  So serendipitous.

Acts of Love

Acrylics on canvas

24 x 30 inch

This of course was the title piece for the exhibition and actually sold 2 weeks before the show opened.  It's going to live with my SIL and BIL and I'm so pleased.  I love this painting and I love that it's going to family and that I'll be able to continue to enjoy it when I visit.

In the Forest of the Mind - Part I*

Acrylics and collage on canvas

15 x 30 inch

This is the first painting I completed after starting back at full time work this year.  One of my colleagues at work named this piece and another colleague purchased it.  The title seems perfect for the new owner and the strong connection to my workplace is somehow fitting.

Gently Gently

Acrylics on canvas

 4 x 12 inch

Field of Dreams

Acrylics on canvas

4 x 8 inch

These two are some of my absolute favourites from the show {alongside Acts of Love and a couple of others}.  They have been in progress in my studio for well over 2 years, since before I really even considered myself to be an artist in fact.  They've spent huge amounts of time just sitting on the studio table waiting for their next step and were only finished in the days before the show opened.  They've also gone to live with a work colleague.

 ***************************************

If you're interested in any of the remaining work from the show I've put it all in a special Flickr set of original works for sale.  All the details are listed with each painting, including size and price.  Just get in touch if there's anything of interest to you.

*In every exhibition there are always pieces you could sell 10 times over.  These are the ones from this show.   In my experience they are always the ones you least expect.
