COBURG HOUSE OPEN STUDIOS SEPTEMBER 2020




COVID SAFE  COBURG OPEN STUDIO EVENT


With limited numbers booked on Eventbrite, social distancing, masks, frequent use of hand sanitiser the open studios was well supported and a positive highlight for all who took part.

I based my exhibition on the 100 days ‘more than weeds’ project

I experimented with a return to some encaustic work using beeswax and pigment.

COBURG HOUSE OPEN STUDIO EVENT

Plans afoot for an open studio event over the weekend of 19th and 20th September

We are planning to have an event that will be free but bookable to control numbers and maintain social distancing. It will be held over two floors so that we can operate a one way system. So R rate allowing there will be artists and makers to visit and admire and buy from.
Will update as plans progress or check the studio website coburghouseartstudios.co.uk

Hope to see you there

More than weeds

I’ve been taking part in the 100 days project to repeat a creative act every day for 100 days.
I’ve ended up painting a quick watercolour study at midnight, of a plant that I have come across during the day that would be considered a weed in some places.
The painting is posted on Instagram each day.

So here are my paintings so far and the place where they are painted.




Wood avens or herb bennet 



Alkanet



Hedge mustard 



Small leaved elm 



Stinging nettle  



Buttercup 



Shepherds purse 

Kitchen table studio



White dead nettle


Cats


For now, some cats for you...

Sadly there will be no June Open Studios this year, but here is a nostalgic trip down our passage to the garden at Catherine Cottage. Keep an eye on the website at www.eastneukopenstudios.org for more videos, virtual tours and artist’s posts.
