First Fall Art Show this Sunday, Livingston NJ

As it was cold enough this morning for my heating to kick in, it seems the sun has finally set on summer. Sunglasses, scarf, gloves and coat required to walk the dog means it is most definitely fall.

And the Fall Art Shows are beginning this Sunday at the Livingston Oval in NJ. The show will co-inside with a town-wide picnic in celebration of Livingston's Bicentennial, so it should be a fun day.

Oh dear... there appear to be 5 shows looming in my calendar in the next month - must get cracking!

Time to put away my strappy sandals and pull on some work boots

Sunday, September 22nd 11-5pm Art at the Oval Town Green Robert H. Harp Drive Livingston, NJ

Star Spangled Splurge : oil painting : 24x18"

I collected my painting from the show this week and apparently it proved "very popular" the show organizer said with an appreciative nod. Alas, I didn't collect the People's Choice Award this year, but the judges deemed this to be a jolly good painting, so I did come home with a nice fat check for the Award of Merit - RESULT!

I think I shall put some of the money into making some large glossy postcards of the painting. I would love to send you one as a Thank You for your support - drop me a line at - jo@bradney.com - I will need an actual snail mail address to send it to you

Cheers m'dears!

Olympic Size Clean-Up

It's a delicious irony that the athletic prowess on display in London this fortnight has inspired me to sit on the sofa for 2 weeks, glued to the TV. I am now afloat with all the tea and biscuits. All that idle hand time means I now have super clean brushes, so normal art service should resume soon And speaking of delicious irony, check out this amazing paper sculpture from Yuken Teruya. There are more photos and paper sculptures on the website, so click the link and take a mini Art Break
