Sundorne Community Day
August saw the first Sundorne Community Fun Day . . . more to come in 2012. It was a lovely day, the weather was warm and the young people of Sundorne made a unique bunting featuring their own drawings. The Bunting has been hung in the Sundorne Lantern Library and Resource Centre. The day was a collaboration between Shropshire Council, Shropshire Youth Service and Severnside Housing and was organised by Councillor Karen Burgoyne.

Ditherington Flax Mill
After I spent a year as one of the artists in residence at Ditherington Flaxmill, Shrewsbury Shropshire SY1, five pieces of work, drawings and mixed media became part of a very successful group show by Flaxmill Arts. The show was part of an English Heritage Open Weekend which was attended by over 1000 visitors.
The drawn images below have been printed in an edition of 5 on acid-free paper in archival ink. Please enquire to buy.

Gastronomy Shop Gnosall
Sarah Roberts from the Gastronomy shop a delightful delicatessen in Gnosall, Staffordshire, UK commissioned a drawing of her shop front to add to publicity materials, I was happy to oblige and then to reverse it out for her too. Drawn in Graphic pen on non-bleed paper.
Cyclamen, ongoing
I love Cyclamens and this one has been around for three years now, being painted each year.
The image with the bright blue background Cyclamen in a favourite bowl was painted in homage to a very special Canadian artist Mr Joseph Plaskett (his message) who has featured these plants in many of his own works. (See Joseph Plaskett’s work at Gallery 78)
The Reading Chandelier, an Art Club Project
As an add-on to the Reading Throne project at Art Club we decided a chair was not enough so embarked on a side-project to make a chandelier to go above the wondrous chair. You can see the results The Reading Chandelier (it sees you when you read) below.
