Art Blog: Modern Contemporary Abstract Art Blog.

I’ve had some great Mazoo commissions for canvas paintings this week and it seems that my darker shaded works are very much in vogue, cool eh?

There also seems to have been a trend for sunset paintings outselling my abstract art work, which is unusual, so very interesting, perhaps it has something to do with the weather, a touch of sunshine after all of the terribly heavy rain we have had.

The colour pallets of the paintings which I have been commissioned for are not only darker but have also seen a shift away from the more understated neutral greys, chocolate browns and creams and instead towards more luxurious reds and purples.

Although there have been, of course, some wonderful crossovers in terms of colour in recent months from my ‘A Beautiful time’ collection, where fusions of lavish reds and cream, created fantastic contemporary canvas art, in a yin and yang approach.

Whilst I do enjoy the neutrals, I am now soooooo enjoying being engulfed in rich colour (quite literally im a messy madam when I paint) once again. These rich coloured paintings fit so very well into modern settings, often adding a splash of show stoppingly gorgeous colour and sit equally as well in more historical settings, creating a feeling of drama and an elegant, eclectic air.

I have had some re-decoration done in my place recently, so I am putting three of my personal paintings up for grabs in the specials category as sale items, they are in super condition and there is also the added bonus that they are ready for next day delivery.(after cleared funds) Check them out:

It was the last one in the shop, rejected by all of the other kids, it’s supposed to be named Hammy, although it goes by many other names, first was the ‘ginger ninja’ as it’s a total nutter (its second name) and not like any other hamster I’ve known before, it sleeps upside down in its wheel, thinks it’s a bat, it snuggled up next to me on the sofa and went to sleep and it jumps, totally bizarre, but terribly cute!

Coming soon, hammy cam, LOL…..

Unfortunately the castle was closed, bit gutted, I enjoy having a mooch about, taking in some history and checking out the artwork, but the gardens are very lovely there, well worth a trip. Took some great photos, but unfortunately the National Trust have gone rather shed happy (bottom right of the photo) so the front of the castle isn’t as impressive looking as it could have been, why they didn’t locate the education shed further along I do not know! The castle is said to be the last castle to be built in England and was completed in 1930 I think.
