April/2015 London group art exhibition

I had one of my work exhibit in central London last month...just thought I would register this in here .. The photographer was Caroline who was kind enough to take these lovely pictures and was there supporting my work together with the other lovely ladies.. I was moving home at the same time so didn't have time to  invite as much people as I would have loved too but I really enjoyed it and met some lovely and very good artists there too.

few pastels and ink

 Back to my pastels again..but just for a short while as soon I will be experimenting with new things. I need to try different things otherwise I get bored or too comfortable with my old way of doing things, also need inspiration to enrich my art and to grow.

Some oil sketches

here are some oil sketches I have been doing in the last few weeks..trying on different surfaces, styles and mediums..still trying to find my way around oil with mixing the colours..is quite different process from mixing the colour on the board with the soft  pastels
