AOH BRIGHTON

I would like to thank everyone who attended my Open House in Brighton.  It was a great success with more than 600 visitors through the door. My next exhibition will be at the Henfield Arts & Gardens on the weekend of 16th and 17th June.  I will be at Two Oaks, Lower Station Road.  Do come and have a look if you can.  Mary, the house owner, has a beautiful garden and also makes the most delicious food.  We are praying for good weather which makes walking around Henfield a delight.  Henfield is a very pretty village and well worth a visit.  I was luck enough to live there for more than 16 years.  Please see http://www.henfieldgardensandarts.org/Inside%20Final%20Press.pdf  for the trail map.

We have also just had a new hang at the Chalk Gallery, North Street, Lewes.  I have on display two watercolour paintings of flowers together with two linocut prints of the Royal Pavilion, Brighton.  Chalk is a cooperative of artists who produce new work for the gallery every six weeks.  http://www.chalkgallerylewes.co.uk/sue-collins-new-at-chalk

Artists Open Houses, Brighton

Just to let every know that the last weekend of AOH Brighton is coming up. Pop in if you have a chance. They are also open next weekend and well worth a visit. I have had over 500 people through so far.  I am part of the Seven Dials Trail, s7 on the map, 33 St Nicholas Road.  There are two other open houses in St Nicholas Road they are on the Central Trail and well worth a visit.  Goro Shimano at number 27 has some really interesting brightly coloured work.    Oh….  Please also go and visit The Olive Tree Artists in Clifton Street, just along the road.   Adam and Nick have some lovely work.  We are also re-hanging at the Chalk Gallery, Lewes on Monday.

My Wave

I’ve had a lovely arty day today cutting lino and printing.

Here’s one of two pictures I have drawn based on Hokusai’s Wave …………..

From Lady in Red to Golden Girl!

I have been meaning to turn my oil painting into a print for such a long time.  I have finally done it….

Making Cards

Well what a lovely space to work in.  I have been making the most of our new kitchen before we move into it.  What a great work space for my art!  I have been making cards this morning for the AOH in Brighton…..  http://www.sevendialsartists.co.uk/2012/Sue_Collins/sue_collins.html
