So finally, after a hiaitus of a couple of years, dapplegrey art got back on the road this weekend.

I set the stall up at Chale Show, Isle of Wight, a stalwart of my dapplegrey journey.  It was my fourteenth year at the show and it felt so damn good to be back!

I very much feel like I've been neglecting my Livejournal for a while.  However, the simple fact is, here's not a lot going on right now.  My conventions are over for the year, so I'm not doing any spn-related artwork at the moment,  the buns are being cute as usual and life is just ticking along quite nicely without too many bumps in the road ( Read more... )

I've had a commission request recently from a gentleman called Rex on the Isle of Wight.  He wanted a picture of the family spaniel for his wife for a Christmas present ( Read more... )

Those of you that have followed my journal will know that I trade with my art under the name 'dapplegrey art'.  Dapplegrey art regularly goes on the road around various craft fayres and exhibitions.  Unfortunately, for reasons that don't need any explanation, those have been few and far between over the last couple of years; in fact I've only had ( Read more... )

This weekend I travelled over to the Isle of Wight to set up and work my frst dapplegrey art show for two years.  It was so lovely to be giving my art an airing, to be spending a day talking art to the public and my fellow stallholders who I hadn't seen for so long - it was so ... normalIt turned out to be a fairly successful weekend.  Not record- ( Read more... )

So, it's been far too long ... two years to be precise, but I have two art exhibitions in September.  I am so excited, just to be on the road, get my pictures out of mothballs and see some fellow stallholders again.  I just can't wait! (Obviously, it would be nice to sell some stuff as well, but let's worry about that on the day ( Read more... )
