EXHIBITION BANNER by JOHNNY BULL

This is to go outside the entrance to Ashley Wood Art Space where my solo show is going to be held....  I think it looks great!  If you would like an invitation to the Private View do get in touch.   You can contact me through my website.  www.phylliswolff.co.uk.    It is a wonderful space and there will be a lot of paintings, I am looking forward to it.  My book will also be available too.  

MIRABELLES, CHARENETE - by a Dorset Colourist...!

I have finally finished these paintings and am very pleased!  I have decided to put the fourth one on my invitation to the Private View of my Solo Show which I am busy preparing for.  

I am also getting a book together ... and the issue of a title has come up - A Dorset Colourist is the favourite so far ...

PAINTING IS A STRANGE BUSINESS- TWO PAINTINGS FROM DONHEAD

I can explain what I mean by talking about a painting I did several years ago - my husband and I were painting over a few days in Donhead, it was the second day I think, and I felt so stuck and unable to 'get it'  I was really struggling.  This chap - a farm worker came up and looked and it seemed to me he didnt think much of it because he said " you should go and ask your teacher for help!"  I think amateur art groups paint around there. This felt like the final straw - but Robert came up a little while later and said - " really like that, dont do too much more!"  and now it is one of my favourite paintings and I wouldnt sell it!  Strange ?  I feel it a painting I still need to follow up - it could help me with my painting of Melbury Hill ....   and more of that later on!

I did another later in the year  which I am also very pleased with.
