The start of a new painting and the skin has dried but the paint underneath is still very squidgy…

So good to see the sun shining today, here’s a new tiny painting taking full advantage of the light. This pale blue splits as it dries giving a textured finish whilst the pink remains solid

Here’s a new very small painting. Experimenting with colour has given me new combinations I’d have never put together myself like lime and pink. This one is still drying I think it might become more textured as it does…

Here’s a new painting that’s really small at only 15cm square. Switching to water based paint which is thinner and more fluid has meant that often the best bits of a painting quickly slip off the surface. Making it all the more satisfying to have captured this one, however tiny!

Beautiful autumnal light today. Highlighting two things I love - 1 playing around with paint and 2 plants! I’m trying to work out a new palette of colours to work with and understand more about how they react with each other. As I got very messy yesterday I thought I’d try and be a bit more organised today. The plant is a pilea peperomioides or Chinese money plant. I love their shape and structure and despite giving loads away I have them in pretty much every room in the house!

I’ve created a set of limited edition prints of my favourite small paint forms, this one is called Peeling 3. They’re created as I pour paint through funnels I use as tools. As my concentration is elsewhere, their revelation is all the more satisfying.

This one struck a chord with Nancy Meiland, the Brighton bespoke perfumer, reminding her of the processes she uses in creating her signature scents. I’m delighted to say this print will be shown in her very stylish shop Nancy Meiland Parfums in Nile Street, Brighton, in the company of her fabulous perfumes.

It’s at the framers now but will be up in Nancy’s shop at the end of next week. Each of the ten in the edition is priced at £200 framed or £125 unframed, both from Nancy Meiland Parfums and from me, please message me if you’d like more details

Good day out with the #cheeks today to research a project we are planning for next year. If you look very closely at this gorgeous Sussex countryside you can see some beautiful deer. Thanks for all the hard work @susanmillerart

Caroline and I are all ready for our last day in Gallery 207 today. Yesterday was super busy with over 100 visitors and lots of interesting conversations about art. We are really grateful to @therosamag Review of Sussex Arts) who recommended visiting our show in its new stylish venue to see our colourful works. Whilst also giving their followers “a heads-up for those of you whose taste in art steers more towards the experimental than the picturesque”
We are here today from 10am until 6pm.
Next week it’s over to fellow Nu Artists Nadine Feinson and June Nelson to show you their latest work.
