I have put two new paintings on ebay today. They are a sort of reverse of my usual paintings (or they feel like they are a reverse when I am painting them). Instead of black, coloured or shimmering ink outlines my two new paintings have white outlines as shown here.




To get this effect I have not used white ink or paint, just left the paper white. This means that I have to think carefully where I want the elements of the painting to be and work from the 'photo' I have in my head of how I want the painting to look. Each painting is done freehand with no pencil lines.

The second painting is the first of a new poem of paintings. I received a commission for a counting set of beach huts - One beach hut ….. Two beach huts….. Three Beach Huts. For a child's room. I really liked this idea and am now painting a new series for general sale. I hope to have a new on up each day (Children permitting)!!

One Beach Hut is shown below

Waiting For You - New Painting

Here is a new painting I have just listed on etsy. It is a small 4 x 4 inch painting but will be matted/mounted in a 10 x 8 inch plain white mount so it is ready to pop straight in to a frame. You can buy standard size frames from almost anywhere now from supermarkets and bargain shops to DIY stores and, of course framing shops so having the painting ready to pop in to one makes it much easier and quicker (not to mention cheaper) for you to get the painting on your wall.

I will be selling most of my paintings with mounts from now on with the exception of ACEOs. Many aceo (stands for "Art Cards, Editions and Originals" which are little 3.5 x 2.5 inch paintings) collectors have their own special way of displaying these which means that mounting them may conflict with what the buyer wants. I do however have some lovely pure white mounts for this size painting which I will list as extras in my shop for those of you who simply want to display them as little paintings.

Take a look at my new painting at etsy by clicking here or on the photo.




Here also is a screen shot of when my painting showed up in "recently listed items" I thought I would add this as I really like the hats that are shown in this shot. They are hand made and I think perfect for the summer (if we ever get any real sun!). You can see more of them at the sellers etsy shop at www.sookie.etsy.com. I am just waiting for someone to buy a paintng now so I can buy a hat!
