Latest Miniature and a Charity

I've just completed this miniature watercolour painting which will be one of my entries in a forthcoming exhibition. Life has been busy recently and I hope to get some more painting done in the coming months.



I also have a painting that is being auctioned in support of "Great Ormond Street Childrens Hospital" along with others from notable UK artists. You can see the works and place a bid in support of this worthwhile Charity here.

Another three paintings sold

Following on from the sale of one of my railway paintings to the USA, I've sold a further three at the 100th Anniversary Exhibition of the premier Art Society in Hampshire.

This is one of the paintings, an acrylic, more can be seen at my website www.artyman.co.uk

Seascape Acrylic

Well it's been a busy few weeks for me and photography seems to have taken over my life recently. This is the latest acrylic seascape painting that I have just completed. I will probably exhibit this in my main Summer exhibition at the beginning of August.

Latest Commissioned Watercolour

My first ever commission was a cottage for someone's daughter. They say that history repeats itself, over the years I have painted numerous houses and cottages for people. This has just delivered to the delight of the client.



If you would like to consider a commissioned painting, just contact me through my website www.artyman.co.uk an enquiry will cost you nothing and there is no obligation so whatever your request just ask.

The cat's name is Miles, which the collector requested be presented in a name scroll (per the style in Japanese prints). He was a stray living under the porch a few years ago, but now he's an adopted and beloved member of the family. Handsome and lucky fella!

The romance of steam trains

Had some good news on Tuesday I have sold two of my paintings from the Summer Exhibition, have been busy this week working on a commission, a totally new subject for me so quite a challenge. This is one of the paintings sold, a little sad as I liked this one but having only completed it recently it hadn't even spent any time on my wall. I guess I shall have to create another train painting. More to see on my website www.artyman.co.uk

Featured Artists July at Gallery 9

BIRDS by Christine Wasankari and Sarah Leonard.
July’s Featured Artists for Gallery 9
Opening at the July Port Townsend Art walk
July 5th, from 5:00-8:00pm

Christine Wasankari and Sarah Leonard are showing an array of vibrant paintings and sterling silhouette jewelry about birds. What started this theme? Both artists love birds and bright colors.



Christine Wasankari "History" Mixed Media


Christine loves working in mixed media. She uses hand made papers, found objects sandy textures and loves to experiment. It's like playing with paints when we were all little, only now no one can tell her to quit being so messy. :-)

Christine’s paintings are bright and rich like a blue jay, fun like a kingfisher and witty like a crow. Inspiration from living amongst the trees at the edge of the Olympic Foresthas also prompted the desire to paint our feathered folk.



Christine Wasankari - "Never Meant to Be" Mixed Media



Sarah Leonared - Sterling Silver Neclace

Sarah Leonard work reflects the fun silhouettes and shapes of birds. She enjoys looking and listening to birds everyday. Trying to reflect the nature of the birds in silver by using accent stones for the eyes, cutting out the silhouette, texturing the wings and tail on both sides to create an enjoyable and wearable piece.



Sarah Leonared - Sterling Silver Neclace and Earrings


Reception coincides with gallery walk from 5 to 8 on July tth and continues through the month of July. Gallery 9 is located at 1012 Water Street, Port Townsend, WA. 360.379.3381
