I shall be in my studio, and there will be more to see just up the road at Spring Farm Arts. Opening Times: Open 11am – 5pm Friday 21st – Sunday 23rd November Venue: The venue is my studio, please scroll down for…

Spring Farm Arts is open for Easter

Apparently it’s spring, so it must be time for our Easter open weekend at Spring Farm Arts. I must admit that when I put this leaflet together six weeks or so ago I did expect it to rain all weekend, because it does that. I didn’t expect sub-zero temperatures and snow… However, if you’re in Somerset and can brave the elements, we would all be delighted to see you! Opening times: Friday 29th March to Monday 1st April, from 11am to 5pm. Venue: Spring Farm Arts, Spring Farm (formerly Moorlynch Vineyard), Spring Lane, Moorlinch, Bridgwater, Somerset, TA7 9DD, UK.

Christmas Fairs, and other devilish things…

It looks like I have run out of time for the making of any more baubles because the event rapidly approaching is our Christmas Art Fair – on Friday in fact they will have to be ready for sale, and a few people have got in quick and emailed me for some, too. I have two Christmas events coming up, one weekend after another: Christmas at Spring Farm – 30th November to 2nd December Christmas fair at Ilminster Arts Centre – Saturday 8th December (see the exhibitions page on my website for more info and opening times) So I though…

Talent is not enough…

It’s not enough, simply to have artistic talent. Oh, it may be enough for the painting of beautiful pictures, but artists have to eat, too. One of the hardest parts of making a living out of art is sometimes not the making of the actual artworks, it’s getting people in through the door. And selling them artwork, of course, but getting them through the door is the first task. I exhibit with a small group of artists we call ‘Spring Farm Arts‘, after our venue. I wouldn’t exactly say we are in the middle of nowhere – we are not…

‘Registered Animals’… and other exhibitions

So… the last few days have been short on artwork, but rather long on cutting out pieces of cardboard, mounting up drawings, wrapping up prints, and quite boring things like that. The dining room currently looks like this: …though now I think about it, it’s not usually much better than this. I shall get back to the real artwork soon I hope, but for the moment a lot of this activity is because I will have work in a few exhibitions – including the ‘registered animals’ which I shall tell you about in a moment. So, in case, by some…

Easter exhibition at Spring Farm Arts

Lately I have got less actual artwork done than I would like, however if you are in the Somerset (UK) area, or feel like making the expedition in this direction next weekend, you can come along ans see some of the things i painted earlier 😉 From Friday 6th – Monday 9th Spring Farm Arts opens its doors once more to the public. Spring Farm Arts is a little group of artists who work or live in our tiny village of Moorlinch and have studios / gallery space at Spring Farm. We are: Jenny Graham – paintings, etchings, Anne Farmer…
