If you happen to open this gallery blog, you'll see Ive not entered much of late, so decided it would be as well to simply just keep my art journal blog going (http://joansandfordcook.blogspot.com/ ) .
If anyone is interested in purchasing any of my works posted in either blog or commissioning any garden, floral or church piece , please get in touch via my email link on the right of both blogs. I work in watercolours, acrylics and oils. Even have a wonderful set of Ashby pastels I get out from time to time.
Here are samples:
Watercolour floral .............Acrylic floral
Church acrylic ....................Church oil

WHITE LILIES IN ACRYLIC
I thought it was about time I added something to the gallery and now I have added a background to my satisfaction to bring out the strong shapes of the flowers, I have chosen the pair of acrylic paintings of lilies from my garden I started last year. The flower shapes have been created with acrylic paste, giving them a 3D effect and then painted. I have added gold and copper paints and beeds to make the works more decorative.
Although shown framed here in this posting, they are for sale as unframed canvases 16 x 20"
at £185 plus postage at cost.

1 FISHING BOATS AT KINGS LYNN NORFOLK
2 STROLLING ON HUNSTANTON BEACH NORFOLK
I dont often paint landscapes, though I love water, so I surprised myself when I created these two pieces. I was on my way round the quayside to go shopping when I saw the fleet in with the fishing nets still up! Very naughty I parked the car up and went through the gate marked NO TRESPASSING or some such negative statement to go over to talk to some fishermen to see if I could sketch an little and take some photos. I must admit I used the photography for all the rigging detail, but glad I had seen it in the flesh so to speak, as there were 5 cabins and 5 masts and hulls you would never have realised otherwise.
As regards Hunstanton beach, I confess it is a made up situation in respect of the people and birds but otherwise based on a trip to this local seaside spot with lighthouse and coloured cliffs.
Both in acrylic on canvas at £225 each plus postage and packing.

TYPICAL ENGLISH PUBS
1
1 GONE FOR A BEER
2 HAPPY HOUR
When we lived in the Fens (East Anglia of England) the village pub was just a few yards up the road and I wanted to create the feeling of typical pub interiors when I realised not many of my works were suitable for men. I thoroughly enjoyed creating these two from imagination adding lots of golds. They are acrylic works painted on acrylic paper rather than canvas and are available double mounted sized 25 x 15 inches at £185 each.
