So Storm Eunice was due and sensibly I advised people to stay at home, me? Well I went to the shop when I saw I could safely. I went via the sailing club to check my kayaks were safe,which they were and then along the seafront where the high spring tide saw some water topping …
So today after yesterdays marker audit was to include some drawing and see who came through the door sort of plan. Early sales of some cards and then two for Art for Fun, once of whom has a card business so a little bit like coals from Newcastle but a great chat and draw for …
Saturday February 19th sees AndyKnillArt venture further afield. My art has been involved in Purbeck events but I do not take part in events wider afield until next Saturday. I will be exhibiting and selling art at this event in Southampton and also offering Art for Fun. The event is being organised by Rachel – …

That freedom comes from my own openness with aspects of my life that developed when I was a …
So a quiet Friday at the studio / shop. One customer, some visitors and I kept busy. This morning I continued with the Posca pens on wood piece of the Wolf moon rise. I added a second layer of paint to all aspects and then light on pier edges and timbers. Very pleased and it …
