Art on your walls...

This is ours. Plan was for #1 daughter, a keen photography student, to take a series of photos that we could use. Mucho time was expended during the holiday allowing her to set up the perfect shots etc and yet more time was spent at home trying to get a series that went together, much to no avail.

Then we happened to be shopping in IKEA... £50 and some careful drilling later...

Our first piece of art by Scarlett Raven; more to come I suspect.

The augmented reality on those is quite cool.

[Clockwork Cupcake]

Genesis Art at The White Lion centre on the A30 near Hartley Wintney has a lot of those augmented pics, where the frame glass incorporates clear raised bumps, or gems, or sparkle, or whatever, to give depth. I have a few (mostly of shoes for some reason). I don't recall the artist(s)

I decided it was the right time to sell one of my original Banksy's even though the market has shifted south. I've now replaced it with a new piece - another original -



An eye watering £8 but I like it.

I regularly pick up silly cute things like that at the Monthly Market at the Maltings, Farnham

It's always fun to talk to the artist / creator, and often they are overjoyed that you like their stuff so much.

I love me a good Nolli plan. I'm sad enough to have a book of them.

I didn't have the heart to say she massively under charged me.

Sometimes I do and say I don't want any change from a tenner. And secretly think I ought to be giving a £20

After buying this at last year's Wensleydale Show....

Bought this original oil at the Wensleydale Show at the weekend; 'Make Hay While the Sun Shines'.
It's by a local artist called Lynn Ward and I like her use of light - having been walking with my daughter a few weeks ago when they were harvesting hay in this very spot, I had to buy it.

...I bought a second one this year to pair with it:

[theplayingmantis]

that first one is v nice, but then I'm a sucker for cloud studies etc from the great romanticists and lesser extent impressionist so moody clouds im yours. not as keen on the 2nd seems more crude and base, which isn't a bad thing in the right places, but as we all know its all subjective.

this thread popping up in what's new reminds me i need to pull my finger out and look into investment pieces, if low value things even exist nowadays...i have some hunches.

Just a little quirky something I quite literally picked up. It’s by a local street artist to Edinburgh who sort of makes art from useless or random objects then leaves them lying for others to enjoy or take away. @SiorCFS73

Goes well in the little unused space by our back door.

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to find something for a 2.5m x ~80cm horizontal gap? I'm hoping I can find one large spectacular panorama.

Perhaps not big enough for you. https://www.jeremythomasart.co.uk/originals

I took a real liking for this guys work a few years back & now have a few.

Hand cut stencils & spray paint has some amazing outcomes.

He gets about 10/12 out of a stencil & often makes some things different like colours of Tartans/dresses.

His Facebook page shows videos of cutting/painting & it’s really quite a process.

Latest interest seems to be whisky distilleries up around the North East of Scotland - he’s based Elgin

Wow, I really like those! Never heard of him but my finger isn't really on the pulse as far as Moray goes these days, folks moved away a year or two back. I would absolutely love to see something similar done with the old Lossie east beach bridge.

Last year I was at Goodwood for one of the members meetings and saw an incredible painting of the Mazda 787b. I loitered for a good 30 mins or so trying to justify the price tag in my head but as I'm not a powerfully built director type, I just couldn't do it.

It left a profound impression on me though, the colour was incredible and vivid, and I've always loved the plucky little Mazda & the story of the first ever Japanese car to win LM24.

Fast forward to spring 2023 and I stumbled upon the same piece as a giclée, still costly but I couldn't pass up the opportunity twice.

Nicholas Watts , 'Victory for Japan' number 2 of 50 giclée with incorporated autographs from drivers Johnny Herbert, Volker Weidler and Bertrand Gachot, and a nice extra sketch & blurb about it's historic 1991 victory.

I've gone on to grab a couple more Nicholas Watts pieces to dot around the house, there's something about his low-light / dark subjects and colour appeal to me greatly.

Just got these 2.



Also got this one by the same artist.

Not my wall, but I did this recently for a friends garden space - some spray paint and a couple hours / beers later:

Good grief, that’s some talent you have there.
