Lucky to get my painting “mend him” into the Brampton open exhibition in the Brampton museum and art gallery, in Newcastle under Lyme. Staffordshire. It’s on from 14th October I think. The painting is a portrait of my hubby I started last year and finally finished a couple of months after he passed away. I miss him. This is my in memoriam tribute to him.
I had decided to enter it as “not for sale” but the gallery wanted all images to be up for sale so I put a large (very large) price on it to virtually guarantee it won’t be sold. It’s very personal to me, but I wanted people to see it.
It’s acrylic on canvas and I started it in my Studio in Spode Site, Stoke. I finished painting it there after I decided to leave due to not being able to afford the studio rent any longer. It means this is the last painting I completed there.

That’s amazing. So pleased for you, though it must feel bittersweet with him no longer being with you xx

Some paintings are too personal for anyone but us to own. I have three. They hang in my bedroom. ❤️

I’ve shown two of those personal paintings and did like you, put a huge price on them.

Yes, I don’t want to part with it but if someone wants something similar I can negotiate a decent price I guess.
