Atkins update

My work is now for sale in Hinckley at the Atkins building, this used to be a hosiery factory back in the day, my mum worked there when I was growing up before she became a top notch nurse so I was thrilled when I went to display my art work there!

Daisy Time

BY MARJORIE PICKTHALL

See, the grass is full of stars,

Fallen in their brightness;

Hearts they have of shining gold,

Rays of shining whiteness.

Buttercups have honeyed hearts,

Bees they love the clover,

But I love the daisies' dance

All the meadow over.

Blow, O blow, you happy winds,

Singing summer's praises,

Up the field and down the field

A-dancing with the daisies.

Happy Tree in pink & Silver £20

Happy Tree £25

Rose in Blue £15

Inspired by my friends 30th birthday at the Jekyll & Hyde Gin Parlour in Birmingham http://www.thejekyllandhyde.co.uk/private-dining_117_3.html

What's been happening?

Last month I was asked to create a mural for Fourways Children's Play Centre in Atherstone http://www.fourwaysplaycentre.com 


Here is how it came together.......I came up with a few designs then I started work, the mural below is 10ft by 25ft and I used a mixed media of emulsion, spray paint and acrylic paint and varnish to create the mural......

 I painted on 8 characters.....

  Here is the finished product.................this took 50 hours to complete

 Then I started on the party room upstairs........here the play centre wanted 3 murals and a happy birthday banner, princess and knights was the theme......... this took me 30 hours to complete.

This was the write up in the Nuneaton news.........................

I really enjoyed creating these murals and I can't wait for my next mural challenge!!
