For ages it seems I have been doing portraits that the customer is giving as a present, so therefore I have been unable to post any real works in progress. Well shortly that will all change. I am finishing 2 next week and then move onto one where the customer is happy to see work in progress. They received one of my gift vouchers for christmas and now the winter coats have finally said good bye, we could crack on with getting photos completed for the portrait.
Today I went out and took some great shots. Caprice and Solo. Mare and Foal. (ok yearling now really)!!
I have emailed the photos taken today to enable the customers to get a proper look at them before deciding which ones we shall use. It is essential to work with the customer when it comes to chosing the photographs to use. It is easy for me to decide which photo would be artisticly the best to use, but it is only the customer is able to say whether or not it is a really true and great representation of that specific animal.
As soon as we have decided on photos and I have finished to work at present , I will post the beginnings of what promises to be a great portrait.
If you would like to order a gift voucher for a portrait, its easy! Just contact me through my website http://www.kathylewisart.co.uk to discuss your requirements.
This is sometimes the best present as its very difficult to judge what someone may want for their portrait requirements. This way they have the gift of being involved and enjoy the excitement of watching it progress too!

On going work and exhibitions
Hi, havent blogged for a while, kids, horse etc etc taking over !! Back to business!
Ongoing with two commissions at the moment. Both are destined to be gifts for the recipeints so unfortunately cant show you the WIP until dates have passed and they would have been recieved!
Very dissapointed to hear that my entry forms didnt make it in time for entering the Mall Galleries exhibition this year for the Society of Equestrian Artists. I wont rant and rave about the british postal system as it has always served me well until this time. What can i say....nothing printable!! LOL
Never min. there will always be a next year and it means i can enter on of the paintings in a local exhibition here at home. Much less hassle!!
The next exhibition is the Priory House Exhibition in Christchurch, Dorset.
1st August - 15th August 2009
This is the annual exhibition held by the Christchurch Arts Guild where i am on the committee for my sins !
This year for the first time, as well as selling original artwork, prints and greetings cards will also be available! I have our new card stand stood behind me!!
I am also organising our first painting day out this year with the Guild. It will be at the beautiful spot in the New Forest called Puttles Bridge!
Will take some photos on the day and post them here after. Catch up with you all soon :))
