Dulwich Fair 2014

I thoroughly enjoyed being at Dulwich Craft Fair yesterday, meeting designers and customers. I was delighted to have a table for my art, as well as for the jewellery and silversmithing and I sold one of my original paintings.

Now it's time to get ready for our Open Studios at Flux which starts on Thursday evening with our private view. We'll be open all weekend as part of Camberwell Arts Week

Claire Hart Design in the Yard Gallery

For those of you back in NI, the next time you're in Holywood have a coffee at The Yard Gallery where you can see two of my newly-arrived paintings -  Chinese teacups with blossom. They were framed at my favourite local gallery Great Expectations in Camberwell, SE London - and what a fantastic job they've done. I'm looking forward to calling in to The Yard next time I'm back in Belfast.

Preparation for new silver bowl

Adding the finishing touches to some of my new paintings. Then I'll be ready to start a new silver butterfly bowl this week, with paintings as my starting point

Sketch 1, 2014

I've enjoyed doing a more precise drawing, alongside the looser palette knife paintings, since coming back to London after New Year. This is a small teacup on my Puer teatray. I like the patterns of word carvings in the wood.

It's been added to 'sketch'   . 

Kunming still-life series

Just completed two more for my new collection of still-life paintings, made using oil bars and palette knife ..... getting ready to launch in 2014
