Latest pieces - some are finished and others are still in progress.

Finally back to having fun painting with acrylics.

Finally back to having fun painting with acrylics. I painted this crazy portrait of Dave Bowie in his most stylish phase (in my humble opinion) on the Jamel Akib workshop yesterday. I can’t tell you what a joy it was thanks to Jamel’s excellent guidance. I can’t attend his sessions often but when I do I end up trying out new techniques and learning so much.

Only a few places left on my Wisteria Window water

Only a few places left on my Wisteria Window watercolour workshop next Friday 19th November at Beech Hill near Reading. Using ink line work first is a good way to ease you in to working with watercolour. If you would like to join me on this enjoyable one-day painting course please dm me or click the link in my bio.

New work up in the Tales of Land and Sea exhibitio

New work up in the Tales of Land and Sea exhibition at the Old Fire Station Gallery in Henley-on-Thames.
This piece is called ‘Peaceful Mooring’
I love to be by the water and even though I don’t sail the idea of being moored in the middle of a mirror-flat lake looking out to the horizon has always appealed to me. I like to let watercolour flow and then just add marks to hint at where the sea laps against the shore, keeping to a minimal palette of colours and descriptive brush work.
Much more to see along with Clare Buchta’s beautiful artwork. Ready for visitors. I’ll put the kettle on….

In the Shallows

Set on the banks of the lake, peering through the grasses and reeds at the Misty waters that hold the morning light. Wisps of pink clouds are reflected in shallow pools at the lakeside and the indigo sky moves away slowly to make way for a crisp new dawn. Morning dew hangs in the air before the sun is ready to bestow it’s warmth onto the earth. Stories from the exhibition “Tales of Land and Sea” showing paintings and prints by Clare Buchta @clareelizart and me @lizbaldin at the Fire Station Gallery Henley-on -Thames from this Wednesday 27th October to Monday 1st November 10.00-4.00 daily.

I’m finally back in my studio after a very long

I’m finally back in my studio after a very long break. I’ve been concentrating on teaching lessons and running workshops which has been great but I feel like I’ve been away from my own art for so long that I don’t really know what to do and how to get back into it. I really want to just play with paint and see what happens.

I’m seeing my work differently and want tobbe sure I’m progressing rather than repeating what I’ve done before by staying in my comfort zone.

Any tips on how to get my mojo back would be much appreciated
