NO print orders will be taken from 5th December - sorry.

A WEE CHANGE

This is a bit of a hush hush job but here is a very rough pic of the finished painting.

The white should really be white but the inclement weather today is wreaking havoc with my lighting!

Top pic is a detail and lower is the overall painting ... although it's nicer cropped in ... and maybe a bit of a sage green second mount ....

PAIR OF ANIMALS - SOLD!!!

Another 2 original paintings sold this morning to a collector in Edinburgh!

The Pair of Animals have gone to join the Anniversary Shoes and the Wedding Shoes in their new home.

DEVIL'S DESIRE - SOLD

 Gone to a lovely new home in Aberdeenshire - Devil's Desire sold yesterday at the Country Living Fair in SECC.

New owner kindly sent a pic of the painting in it's new home.

Many thanks Anika!

COUNTRY LIVING STAND - B17 SECC

Well, today was the big set up for Country Living Fair and I painted my (3m high!!!) stand in classic red - worth the pain as the Pair of Animals paintings look fabby against the red walls.

I am however, similar in colour and looking like an extra from Carrie!

Pics are a bit out of focus but you get the drift!

Pop along & visit stand B17, SECC from Thursday (tomorrow) till Sunday 10-5pm

LIVING NORTH STAND

 Here's a wee pic of my stand at Living North Christmas Fair last weekend.

It's good for me to look at it and see what will change for the Country Living Christmas Fair in SECC, Glasgow on 17th-20th November. One key change is the missing The Holly & the Ivy.

However ... I have plans to squeeze in another new painting or two before the show ... grand plans indeed!! Although for me, The Holly & the Ivy is one difficult painting to replace!

Having had requests at Newcastle for ballet shoes, boots, clogs .... and lacy bras(?!) ... who knows what I might start!!

Mistletoes or Dancing Queen will probably take centre stage at next one ... and have learned that people want framed prints and not unframed! It's a learning curve.

See online for more paintings - perfect for Christmas pressies! www.gillianpark.co.uk/shop

THE HOLLY & THE IVY .... SOLD!!!

Well, my baby has gone to a new home in Tyne & Wear.

ahhhhhhh

DANCING QUEEN ... ready for Living North Fair

I can't believe how quickly this has come round: Christmas Living North Fair in Newcastle Racecourse starts tomorrow!

Final blog before packing up and heading down to set up - stand A35 in the First floor of Gosforth Park Suite ... come say hello!

This is the finally framed Dancing Queen hanging on my wall, matching the sideboard and candlesticks perfectly!! I couldn't have planned it better myself!

Dancing Queen, Devil's Desire, Mistletoes and THE painting of the year (for me anyway!) The Holly & the Ivy will all be for sale for the first time at the show. Hopefully find some good homes for them.
