Life continues to keep me out of my studio (except for when I'm packing it into boxes ready for my move).
But that doesn't mean there are no miniatures in it (my life, not the studio). Here's what I've been up to...
First up, I attended the opening of this year's ANCA Pin exhibition, Pin 8.
This annual exhibition is locked into my calendar as a great place to see (and sometimes buy) miniature art.
This year's budget allowed me to buy this piece by Jen Fullerton (Brown Paper Cowgirl on Instagram):
Then I returned to miniature club, after a break of around 15 years.
We made topiary to go in front of a group project of a house made of room boxes made by club members
to be displayed at a local railway and model show.
More recently, I went to the opening of an exhibition at M16 Artspace of work by Clare Martin (an artist I'm familiar with) and Mike O'Kane (a new-to me artist).
I loved Clare's work Dream Home:
(perhaps because it was in 1/12th scale, and beautifully executed)
and was struck by Mike's works, which seamlessly photoshopped models into full-sized scenes.
Enough that I bought this work, White Fella, for my new home:

It apears that you had an enjoyable time at the ANCA Pin exhibition and your art purchases are unique and definitely converstion pieces
Wow - that art is marvelous! I love the topiary pots all in a row. :D
Fun fact - my wife's and my own "white fella" Uncle's either died or were taken captive fighting the Nazis. I wonder what you "white gal" kin were doing? No doubt handing out white feathers to "white fellas" who could then go and die fighting for your freedom to slander them.
Hi Jim
Interesting you should think that, based only (I assume) on reading my blog.
I'm intrigued to know what made you come to that conclusion...
Just wow! nothing to say, This is wonderful work of art
