Merton Abbey Mills Art and Craft Market

For the past three weekends I've been selling my artworks on Sundays at the Merton Abbey Mills Art and Craft Market. The market is open from 10am to 5pm. There is a lovely relaxed atmosphere. People come and listen to live music, sit around outside a cafe enjoying lunch or a pint by the square and browse the stores and stalls. I've been painting while I'm there, which has been a nice change of pace to get out of the home studio.

If you're in the Southwest London area by the South Wimbledon tube station on a Sunday, come and check out my stall and say "Hello"!

LONDON, here I come!!!

It's been a while since I've posted anything, but there's good reason for it. I have been BUSY packing! I have exciting news to share...

I'm re-locating to London, England!

As one of the cultural centers of the world, I'll be living amidst a hub of publishing activity and poised in a position to claim my own ground alongside so many amazing cutting edge artists. What inspiration I shall have at my fingertips!

My husband has been offered a prestigious Fellowship to set up his own research facility at Imperial College in London. It is to begin in October, 2010, so off we go! We are planning a month long holiday to Mauritius and South Africa while our home is in transit. I'm bringing my watercolors, so who knows, there may be future posts of African landscapes! (A safari is planned, of course.) The camera will be by my side throughout. I plan to take as much photo reference for future paintings as possible.

Here's a painting that I did inspired from a tiny photo in the back of an old National Geographic a long time ago. I can't wait to see baobab trees in real life!
