So, Thursday. Not a work day, my big free day to get the studio ready or almost or whatever I get to tbh. 8 pictures up and a realisation that I have so much art where can I put it all. Today was a day inspired by invention – two new hanging systems used based …
Ok, yes I could have called this part 5, but people might be put off by the 5th sequel. This part of the bay has been rearranged since the initial set up. There are three aspects to this section; – table and items on it – easel displaying one piece – chair used as a …
Yesterday I gave the background stories to the four pieces on the top row of my main display wall. Today it is the turn of the next row down – 7 mounted pieces. The two prints on their own will be dealt with later since being moved on Friday March 16th. Display and presentation of …
So 31 January marked a whole year as AndyKnillArt. I had investigated and come up with the name in November 2016 about the time I had a breakdown and left teaching. I wasn’t in the right headspace so came back to it. AndyKnillArt is different from my keeping sketchbooks for mindfulness. I was sticking my …

Well PAW number one has passed, by the end of it I was elated but also weary after 16 consecutive days. I produced a range of art pieces including cards and original canvases. Sales and visitor numbers were far in excess of anything I would have hoped for prior to the Open Studio. I took …
Sunday 11th June So a final day – drier, slightly less breezy and some sunshine. I opened up and almost immediately found myself redirecting people to the Coffee concert at Encombe House – my studio signs obviously work. Friends from rowing visited included the buyer for my Swanage Regatta Fleet original – prints / cards …
Saturday 10th June The penultimate day. A dry start and calm when I visited Swanage early on, back in Kingston the breeze became stronger and the sun went in. Twice today the gusts were enough to blow my silk flag from its pole, luckily it didn’t go far. A mixture of walkers and art visitors …
Friday 9th June Nicer weather, still a bit blustery. Today I would like to thank my visitor from Poole and I wish you well with your craft plans and yes that’s it, one visitor. I drew some new original cards and did further work on editing and identifying possible pictures for clients looking for a …
