paintings, books and boxes


Here you can follow my thoughts and my art work. Hand made books and boxes and oil painting on canvas. My paintings are mainly abstract. The above is part of a triptych which I plan to show during the Parisot Art Exhibition in Tarn et Garonne, France, August 2012.

I made this screen print in three different colours, blue, red and turquoise. Take a look, tell me which you prefer. Image size 30x20cm, paper size 50x35cm If you like them enough to buy, then contact me and we can arrange it.

People LOVE to be invited to a preview and a private view evening is perfect and in fact most sales can be generated from a private view. Then when the expo is open people see the red dots and think "hmm, as so many are sold I'd better buy too!" It's psychological and 9 times out of 10 it works! Win win! Have you any brill ideas for expositions?
