So no I haven't been in a coma.....I've moved house, moved studio and I've also been working, constantly. I was funded by the Arts council to produce the show "Cellotape" which kicked off late last year in Pendle and now travels just over the border to Yorkshire, next up Arts Mill, Hebden Bridge for the first Sunday in May, P.V details to follow.... if you can all make it, well see you there and well if you can't it will hopefully coming to a gallery near you late this year.<br />
<br />
Below: "The Big Easy" and "I Pissed My Pants"from the new show Cellotape.<br />

Although my time was short last year I did find time for the Ball, I always do but this time it was Chelsea Arts 150th, so folks went all out, at the arts club as usual, but me and the lovely Jane Hoare went, well "Far Out" 60's man as the theme was Chelsea through the decades and after hanging out in wonderland for a while we then danced the night out until our ears fell off..grooveee<br />

so I'll just have to pop back...any takers? French House, Easter?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So with Spring round the corner and mornings getting brighter, I feel like I've come out of the Winter and my work is going well for 2017, it looks like my studio has been taken over by some alien autopsy but the experiments are still going good and I'm now looking forward to the next PV, I hope peeps will love it or hate it, I would hate to be in the middle of things. So please expect to inject some uncanny into your everyday, come and meet my new characters / friends and this outburst of colour with my offering for you all to ponder.<br />
<br />
"Cringe"...he'll see you there!<br />

And this means we have to stop the fester and get outside! Although you haven't heard from me in a while there's no real festering…..between working I've been out in the daylight taking a lungful but also contemplating the future. What are my desires and dreams? What will be my next venture? I was feeling a bit like I'd gone off the boil and needed to get my teeth into something a bit more gritty and talk about good timing…..that's when I got the news through that the Arts council had decided to fund my new project!<br />
<br />
So Big top hats off to them as I'm now running on plenty, and fuelled for the year! Fabulous!<br />

<br />
Two weeks on and this hum dinger is FINISHED, so in between the hoola hooping and star jumps (it's so bloody cold) today I declare it's done!<br />

So another day another picture, I'll crack on with the work even though Bowie is no more, I've already been pouring my heart out on that one, so to transform dullness and smooth out any winter blues, I'll throw myself into the centre of my artistic universe, key protagonist (just for a change,,,,Ouchy!) in a world populated by proliferating bad news..... but one only lives once so I've already booked my train to go and look at everyone in the south at the end of this month, now that will cheer me no end, it's just the little things,,,,obvs!Joe Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14805790991939980844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369437242491802775.post-56786241071031010512015-11-12T10:32:00.001-08:002015-11-19T12:11:15.141-08:00TICKLE YOUR FANCY<br />

Another night another preview bash, but this time it was for yours truly!!! The Fitzrovia Gallery London, the Fizz went pop! And everybody was hit with a little bit of spring zing when faced with the colour of my oils, well enough to get them through the winter anyway.<br />

<br />
I'm hoping you all know by now that I have a new show opening soon so you can imagine how busy I am with finishing the work, as now this is a solo show, but one needs time to reflect so I'm bobbing out of the studio when I can....basicly walking away so I don't put back what I've already done!<br />
<br />
Silverdale, can you believe the weather, it's always like that!<br />

Silverdale, we had a super day John and I, obviously we talked about new work as he has a show at the C.A.C the week before mine and believe me the work looks GOOD, it's going to be a wonderful show, I lost count of the number of new amazing pieces, I've no idea how he's going to choose, oh and I am wearing one on the PV night and another I've made into a cape how exciting!!!<br />
<br />
Sunday was a great day out, my friend Phil and I went over to Hebden Bridge to see the work of Mary Loney, I've met Mary before at this gallery, she's a great painter with my kind of sense of humour!<br />

The gallery looked great as it was all up in the main part of the building when I had a show there last years ago but this new downstairs space looks super<br />
<br />
<br />
To END this blog I had a surprise visit from a C.A.C member my friend Mike Hoban, he lives in Lewis and decided to go off and discover Yorkshire, well as you know I and on the cusp of the border so it would of been rude not to visit!<br />
<br />
We talked from Plath to Pendle witches and put the art world to rights, good times!<br />

The artworld merry-go-round has spun once more in my favour, urging me on towards new and exciting horizons and thankfully despite the whirling speed of change, Autumn looks bright! The starting gun has been fired by new agent Clive Jennings and we've hit the press with a bewitching veil of "Seduction & Sedition" my new show in November, and now to add to the build up it has been covered by Fitzrovia News, London.<br />

Now to other things, or should I say other artists, my good friend Eddie Davies and one of the artists from our Mill put on a good show of new works this week and what a great turn out it was, the place was packed and the show was a well deserved success as I know how much hard work he puts in and is always down at the studio any chance he gets....Well Done Eddie, great job!<br />

<br />
The work was based on inspiring landscapes from a two month trip from Argentina's Mount Fitzroy to Chile's Torres del Paine via the Perito Morano glacier. "My love of cubism has influenced the look of this series blending all images into one fantasy landscape" E.Davies<br />
<br />
And this show is on for a month so pop on!Joe Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14805790991939980844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369437242491802775.post-24939787981125017552015-08-28T03:17:00.000-07:002015-08-28T03:17:39.188-07:00Art on his Mind<br />
<br />
Clive Jennings - Fitzrovia Flaneur went to extra lenghts this week and squeezed me in before jetting off to NY, he made the trip up North into serious Witch country and lucky for me he hopes to dazzle audiences in London this coming November with his genuine love for art and belief that it should been seen! Clive always doing things in his effortless style, below viewing the new work in my studio and meeting Montee my studio tech<br />

The new show will take shape in the spectacular and now thriving Fitzrovia Gallery and my work will be further enhanced by showing along side of the fabulous artist Machiko Edmondson, giving our work a new lease of life in this enchanting space, Fitzrovia being one of the hottest art scenes in London!<br />

This Blog is dedicated to my wonderful friend John Baldwin and his new works that await grand exposer this coming October for his solo show at the famous Chelsea Arts Club, and I went along to the Dukes gallery in Lancaster to have a sneak peak at the first of these colourful works that exist on their own terms, each impressed with its own self-contained reality.<br />
<br />
Abstract Expressionism, the defining characteristics of these new works are those of implied energy and visual drama in a cast of unruly and irrepressible attention that unlocks new ideas, colour is heightened, the palette is extended thus deepening the expressive argument and drawing in paint becomes more assertive.<br />
<br />
John's paintings freely admit a range of allusion through shapes which jostle for attention but theses new players now command the colour stage, spilling sensation and the apprehension of time and space into the gallery demanding engagement with their presence.<br />

Whistler's statue at 6 o clock on the 4th July was the place to be but only if you had a ticket for BLAST Off...... and what a blast it was.We started off with spacey cocktails to the hooting horns and cheeky snapshots of the passer by, I'm sure they thought it was an extraterrestrial invasion as our procession went on to the alien world of Old Church Street....me..with ray gun at the ready!<br />

I'm also avoiding cake for this fortnight, not that I've any bulges darling, but I know what works for me!<br />
<br />
HELMUT LEMKE<br />
<br />
I've been out and about lately taking in the art where I can and the best thing I've seen in a long time was Helmut Lemke's sound performance in an old church in Todmorden. This lunchtime concert whipped me up into a frenzy, like some kind of mad inventor Helmut took us through a mesmerising injection of sound. Pouring into our ears, the act unfolded in it's own time, from the dancing of giant pegs to the tap of a teaspoon he conjured up the most amazing noises and at one point it was like being in the Planet of the Apes, then the sound dropped to a kind of Whale song, and then it was gone.<br />
<br />
Look out for Helmut and I in the future as we have plans to collaborate, how exciting!!!<br />
<br />

You know, just hanging around, as I've been so busy painting, my other creation for this party didn't emerge. My friend Clive set the bar high though with his bunny number, don't get me wrong. I love a mad March hare but let's not kid around, he's taken it to another level with this, leaving all amateurs aside and together as a pair we've weeded out the chick wearing bonnets!

Eeek! Spring is nearly upon us- Easter adventures are only just over a week away but you wouldn't believe it up in the North as that bloody wind has a nasty bite! I have just come home from the studio with yet another frozen shoulder but I'm as happy as a Spring lamb as my latest picture "Pin Up" I can now declare FIN!<br>
<br>
Although this image is a bit dark (studio light has gone) you wouldn't believe it's four foot?<br>
<br>

<br>
Artist from the Mill where out to see this weeks eclipse, should I say, a few of us came outside, although it was early, some artist hadden't arrived yet, Montee didn't seem amused?<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
Next I am on with my easter bonnet for our annual Hatting at the CAC....so what can one do with a stocking, a load of hay, gloves that could only have belonged to Super Man and some plastic, well you will have to wait and see, I just made a squeal of pleasure (excitement) made when you get cake, or is that more of an ooO, well.... You know who you are!<br>
<br>
I'm also going to see my super friend Catherine Nicolson, who is having a showing of her wonderful 'Spingle' necklaces next Tuesday at the Chelsea Arts, so I can't wait for that as they will be wonderful and weird.<br>
<br>
Fashion and styles change so quickly but you will now see me out and about sporting Big colour, who cares what the weather has planned, inject a little sunshine into your wardrobe, yes shiny happy people below with Montee dog......or is it Ab Fab? Oh dear, have a great Easter and dont forget to Egg Hunt!<br>

It's happened to us all, you don't want to go out (in our case the winter scene was cold enough to make a duck cough) but you end up having a great time! We went off this gone Saturday, over the snowcapped moors to Dean Clough gallery for John Baldwin's show of super Ice-lolly bright paintings, Small and Tiny.<br />
<br />
This was our view, we laughed about not making it, but then went quiet, as it could of become our reality.<br />

Peeps were stopped in their tracks when they got a glimpse of John's work,<br />
There is a lesson we can all learn here: Pay attention to detail, just like Mr B, his mini works will give you a zing, break up a white wall and lead you to Spring!<br />

HAPPY NEW YEAR!<br />
<br />
And my first Arty outing 2015 was back to the gallery in the Park for a collection of artists on display put together by Mary Gavagan who has taken it on until March. Lots to see and I can tell you that not only is it a diversity of brilliant work in all kinds of form but also striking prints of Bert Irvin's are on display...I mean Wow, that's what we want, Albert Irvin in Pendle!<br />
<br />
Below: Johny B and me checking out the situation<br />

So go along to the park in Barrowford and enrich your understanding of art and you'll even get to meet Mary.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
All the pieces in the gallery instantly and easily transform the space and kill the white, it's a super show of work, so go on, pop along (also fit in a piece of Pat's pie across at the Heritage) it's so much less stress than tennis!<br />

<br />
Quirky pics? They won't sell peeps the idea of a sculpture. What will though is a lovely walk in the countryside to see a piece as you would come across it in situ. So that's what we did Phil and I last week and he wised up to the fact that tea and cake on the menu first, you know for a bit of energy before the walk, would get me into it. Also this is our annual witches walk from way back in 2011 (my arts council piece) Below Montee dog and I at the same spot as in 2011 on our way to Whitewell<br />

<br />
Philippe's (Handford) piece is part of a series of landmarks, temporary installations celebrating fifty years of AONB status of the forest of Bowland and Phil's piece "Out-take" is at Langden Intake on the road to the Trough of Bowland a mile out of Dunsop Bridge.<br />
<br />
Yes and best to be seen if you walk from Dunsop Bridge and "Not" the village before Whitewell as we did! Ok we didn't feel the first bit as we where looking forward to the scones, but my oh my did we feel the walk after the rain came and then we realised we had miles to go, even to get to it, never mind the way back, and I only had on a clasic afternoon tea combo on!<br />
<br />

So park at Dunsop and walk easily to the spot and you will be amazed to find yourself in a theatrical setting, well that's the feeling I encountered whilst stood in the middle, like the countyside is having a love affair with the opera, super!<br />
<br />
So have a day out but be quick as I said, they are only temorary and don't forget the scones.....well it would be rude to just pass the Inn at Whitewell wouldn't it! Below, phil and I just a tad soggy, when we eventually get back to the car.<br />

I consider myself a real lucky girl, my friend Stella got me a wonderful birthday gift, yes a Kate Bush ticket for her first live concert in 35 years, I was blown away at the time (in May) but even more bowled over with the show. She came on barefoot and most of us fell apart, totally overwhelmed with her presence, I consider myself to have grown up with Kate Bush and most of my painting days are spent listening to her so it was a bit to much for me when she was just stood there, amazing we were mystified with this engrossing, transporting extraordinary show and what a night we had and then back to Chelsea Arts for drinks later.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Next the French peeps were over to build their piece for the Pendle Sculpture trail with lead artist Philippe Handford, as part of a cultural exchange bewteen the twin towns of Pendle and Creil. This was to celebrate 40th years twinning and they all stayed in our little house, well Emanuel stayed with Julie for two days first in a Lux bed before I trapped him in the attic and put him on a Zedbed.<br />
<br />
Pendle Print Fest, started Fri 5th with a print trail along the river to my mill for the exhibition "Unfamiliar Ground" then a symposium with guest speakers on the Sat, the exhibition is on going and the trail is open for another weekend!<br />
<br />
Below Joel, Nani and Emanuel pose with Anita at the gallery (the start of the trail) and again with my latest but un finnished piece and then Emanuel and I before they left on Sunday<br />

<br />
What fun we had with them and who would know Imanuelle was such a good dancer!<br />
<br />
But before all this went on we had Anji and Brian over from the C.A.C with their daughter Leala for a weekend in Pendle at the Blues Festival, we had such a fun time keeping it cool in the Green Chimney early on (below) and then letting rip after dark till late in Jim's Acoustic Cafe<br />

<br />
I made my way from South Ken on Tuesday up to see my friend Molly the fabulously decadent fashion wizard, only to be greeted with a hollywood smile and a whole lotta strawberry tasting fun.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Above: A selfie in front of Mol's new beautiful painting of New york........................<br />
Mirror mirror on the wall who has the biggest oversized specs of them all?<br />
<br />
We had such a wondreful time talking fashion and painting over a green tea, we sure are (in Molly's words) kindred spirits!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0DmJd50XwQo/U-4iwhkP_UI/AAAAAAAABZw/JH2Ps4fdvWg/s1600/IMG_20140812_145315.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0DmJd50XwQo/U-4iwhkP_UI/AAAAAAAABZw/JH2Ps4fdvWg/s1600/IMG_20140812_145315.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a> </div>

<br />
Next I was off to the C.A.C to meet friends, Molly didn't fancy it this time, so the club will have to wait till next time for our big entrance although it could easily be Vout O Reenees for us girls!<br />

Did you see the article in the Ribble Valley Mag? A super size image of Anthony Lycett's photo of my studio, me in fuctional clothing items, out with the tricksy and in with the easy!<br />
<br />
I've been a busy bee all week with my last painting for the Show in October, although it's only been two weeks, it's coming along nicely yet some days I can get restless, turn to the clock tick tock, what to do, I'm not hungry, too early for a drink, paralysed by a combination of indecision and lassitude......quickly Joejoe into a yoga pose, yes this will help body and mind, then back into the work in no time and I didn't think about the pub across the road as I was upside down, not once..... honest!Joe Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14805790991939980844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369437242491802775.post-50027638962784367172014-07-28T09:58:00.001-07:002014-07-28T09:58:04.665-07:00Hello SunshineThe weather arrived and so did I....South of France? Pfft...nope North Wales, the cool set would head for North of this place to find the most comfortable coast, the wildest beaches and the best surf, just the right side of swish for me and I fancied getting to know my own little Island a little better, it was so picture postcard unspoilt coves and wondrous for my artistic juices to re charge oh and perfect for Montee the studio tech and his Buddhist outlook on life.<br />
<br />
It was a blooming marvellous time for letting ones hair down....spreading ones wings or as I like to do on my hols...let me arms out<br />
<br />
Below me with bubbles (like you do when you're camping)<br />

The appeal is that you can pick up a descent size piece for a much smaller price and Lesley and David (at Arteology) will do you a deal on the framing - but I like them raw on the wall with the bull clips but hey come and see.....and you'll also get to meet "Nursy" one of my biggest paintings to date!<br />

So with a lot of the work done before it goes of to London later on I will now take myself off in the Campervan for a couple of weeks. Now did I pack them shorts with the flowers on? No...I thought I had, oh dear well at least I'm planning ahead to avoid sartorial stress...ho ho.....I will have it sorted by weekend then Boom! Wales here I come.<br />

To just end on a sad note I found out yesterday a pal of mine Steve Pickles, artist, my college lecturer and friend has died, he lost his fight with cancer ....pancreatic..a real bastard. I am so sad about this horrid news, and was waiting for him to get better and kidnap me again (I knew he had plans to)<br />
<br />
RIP my friend<br />
