New Art work

We went to an Art sale at the weekend, featuring local glass artists, photographers and print makers.  Needless to say, we came home with some new additions to our collection of pictures.



 We both loved the seed head and branches by photographer Jane Wright - they are so atmospheric and just jumped out at us.
We also saw some of Alison Read's work (it was her house and we were able to see her studio which was fantastic!).  Chris loved this dog woodcut print...
 ...whereas I was after cat prints...like 'Furball' here...
 ...and I thought that this one looks a bit like Scruffy (so, of course, it had to come home with us!)
Right, all we need to do is to get them framed and then decide where they are going.  We are thinking of having a mini-gallery in the hall...

      Thanks, EC. There were lots of lovely things at the sale and we were tempted by so much, but are pleased with what we finally settled on.

      Thanks, gilly. They really appealed to us both and we just couldn't not buy them, now could we?!

      Thanks, Mirjam. We have a few pictures framed and ready to go up, but we haven't been sure where to put them. Now that we have these ones as well, a mini-gallery in the hall seems like a good idea.
