Big


This painting is real big - 24 x 36 inches big.

It's for sale for £150 + P&P.

I'm bringing it to the party - that's Paint Party Friday - but I promise it will behave and not get drunk and chat up the best looking men. It's just gonna hang out on the wall and observe. OK?

I think I'd like to go to a party where all the guests turn up with a painting instead of a partner. They might not leave with the same painting, but it's unlikely to end in divorce. Though maybe a small dose of regret.

I will miss this painting when it goes, although there is a raspberry pink stain on the patio where the drips missed the newspaper that will serve as reminder. That and the vandyke brown down my fingernails which appears to require a chisel to remove...

This painting has its eye on an owner with mushroom walls. It wants to hang over a fireplace or strategically placed on a feature wall. It has a warm and welcoming personality with a hint of the exotic. It enjoys a nice hot curry and the kind of music that makes your hips wiggle. Will you invite it into your home?

  1. I love this post - the way you've described your painting as if its some kind of blind date partner you're setting your friend up with!! Brilliant -and that sounds like a fabulous kind of party to me too (maybe Kat's liberate your art postcard swap is like an airmail version of that!)
