This weekend is the last chance to come to our Brighton Open House at Four Knoyle Road, Brighton (www.fourknoyleroad.co.uk) It's open 11-5pm and there's a lovely garden to have tea and cakes in whilst admiring the gorgeous sculptures.

This is one of the paintings I'm exhibiting:

It's getting rather near to May and that means the Brighton Open Houses and our exhibition at Four Knoyle Road. The website is www.fourknoyleroad.co.uk and gives all the details, including a link to my own website at www.stephaniekirk.co.uk.

I have just finished this one & if you live in Bath you may soon find a little magnet of it that is free to pick up and take home !

And now for a bit of self-marketing - I have a brand new website at www.stephaniekirk.co.uk where you can see more of my work and there is another blog.  Whilst on the subject it would be great if you liked my facebook page which you can find on www.facebook.com/stephanie.kirkartist and if you are really keen you could follow me on twitter.com/artistskirk. Phew !

Am just getting ready for Brighton Open Houses - we have 16 artists at fourknoyleroad.co.uk and it starts on May 3rd and is on for the first four weekends in May from 11-5pm. Information about the artists involved and how to get there is on the website.

Here's another in the Black Wolves series:

Off to the Affordable Art Fair tomorrow - always fun to have a good look round.

Black wolves . . .

I've started a series of paintings called 'Black Wolves' and this is one of the first to be finished. I'm working on quite a few at the same time.

Untitled at the moment but I'm working on it . . . 

Flight: Oil & charcoal on canvas.
This will be one of the paintings shown at Artwave in Lewes starting this weekend.

These are a few of my most recent paintings, all of which are in the Hop show at the moment.

I've had a very busy spring & have sadly neglected this blog but my shows are up at the moment in Lewes; Order of Change at the Hop Gallery in Fisher St, finishing on Thursday and Fringe at the Foundry in North Street (opposite North St car park) finishing on Saturday.
Here are a couple of pictures from the shows:


Hop Gallery:

And this last one is from the Foundry in North Street. This is a bigger space so I could put up larger paintings.

Spring shows

Am preparing for a busy period  - 2 shows on in May and an Open Studio afternoon coming up shortly. I started a few large drawings - about 2m long - but they take up rather a lot of space ! This is the first appearance of the stag woman figure.

My New Year's resolution to blog more frequently hasn't got off to a brilliant start, but at least it's because I've been painting - and here's one from the end of 2012:

Thanks to everyone who came to Artwave & sent such nice messages afterwards. After a busy summer I have been in Cornwall & am now back in the studio getting on with new work. I will post again when some of it is finished !

Birdman & In the Forest series

This shows three paintings in the series Birdman and In the Forest. From left to right:
