Freaky Chickens

I don't know what happened to this photo - it obviously posterised or something, but it's of "Chickens at the end of my rainbow", a funny sort of painting I did last week (before my gastro and my son's night of the same) in time for the next crea8 girl's art show at the end of the month. I've used this image (hopefully in the correct colours - and I've already sent it to the printers!) on the DL promo flyer for the event, which can be seen here. Check it out if you have a moment.

Why Original Art?

I found this article in a recent O magazine and quite liked it! I think if you click on it it'll be large enough to read off your screen...

Pick the pregnant one

Today we had a very enjoyable little photo shoot (ok, over 160 photos) to end up with a group shot for our next exhibition flyer - this first shot probably isn't the picture I'll choose for the layout ... maybe we'll go with the second one.

New bags added to site

I've just added some new bags to my online shop - go to www.annabartlett.com and see if there's something you like! Every one is an original acrylic painting made into a durable handbag. Always a conversation starter!

I made the paper with crea8

I will be exhibiting with my friends from crea8, Nic Hohn and Kym Breeze, on the weekend of 26-27 May at Highfields Cultural Centre. For more info go to our crea8 blog.

Hearts and Stars

I finished these two paintings during the week and they are now being exhibited for sale at the "Happy Souls" exhibition at Tannum Sands.

Take a seat ... home with you

This is one of the three chairs I've painted in time for our "crea8" show at The Chocolate Cottage at Highfields. Honestly, it took AGES to paint, and then seal with 2 coats of marine varnish. And if it doesn't sell I'll be happy to take it home to my place! It was fun to do furniture again though, and I'm keen to do some more for the new baby - maybe after it's born though - there's so much to do before then!
