My diary is looking pretty full!<br />
<br />
Taking priority is more trips away in Freddy, our camper van, with Mr G and Bruno but I have some lovely events planned. <br />
<br />
I am so looking forward to the transformation of Stan, my VW T4 and daily drive, into Stan the Story Van, the campervan classroom. We just need some warmer weather but the old school desks that were my children's from Lea School are lined up waiting!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I ran several Children's Writing and Illustrating Workshops at Tansley and Cromford Mills working with lovely enthusiastic girls and boys. They never fail to surprise me with their vivid imaginations. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am running one this Sunday for Duffield Arts Festival and over October half term at Tansley Village Hall. (Wed 31st 10.30-12 please <a href="mailto:karinagoodman@icloud.com" target="_blank">email</a> if interested).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've also been working on a new logo for my </span><a href="https://www.karinagoodmanstudio61.co.uk/childrens-workshops.html" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Stan the Story Van</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> children's writing and illustrating workshops and am looking forward to this new </span>project<span style="font-family: inherit;">.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The highlight for us this Summer has to be our mahoosive road trip up to Scotland. We had no plans, no route nor nothing booked, we just headed North armed with lots of water, food, wine (I class this as an essential), maps and an empty journal. Said journal is now full of wonderful memories and accounts of our 1,840 mile journey. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Words nor photos can do justice to the majestic scenery of the North and West Coast of Scotland and we thoroughly took advantage of the freedom to park up and "wild camp" for the night at some amazing spots, even with a tent when our son joined us for four days. To wake up to hear the lapping of the sea or view the morning mist creeping in over the mountains was just breathtakingly beautiful, memories of which will be with me forever. </span></div>

Hello, hope you are well and enjoying a bit of a reprieve from the scorching weather. I hope it returns though.<br />
<br />
Been a busy Summer with more stuff planned ....<br />
<br />
A fab start was a trip to The Barbican Centre to see our daughter graduate from London Met University with a BA First Class Honours.<br />
Was a very proud day for us and her grandparents.<br />
Katie graduated last year with a Montisorri Teaching Degree and will continue with her teaching job in London whilst now doing her MA. We've just had her home for a few weeks and it was quite amusing to see how this London city girl took a few days to unwind and chill out in the country, but a quiet village life suits us just fine and she returned to London yesterdaywith batteries fully charged!<br />
<br />

<br />
We've also been making the most of Freddy our camper van with many trips away including Northumberland, Pembrokeshire, Norfolk and an interesting evening wild camping upon Tan Hill above the Yorkshire Dales, the highest pub in England!<br />
<br />
Bruno has enjoyed his many varied walks up hills and along the coast but being in water is what he loves best.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As some of you may know I’m a bit of a van nerd. I can talk about van conversions and campervans all day long. I am lucky to drive Stan our VW T4 campervan everyday and now go in holiday in his big brother Freddy. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 3px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 3px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">An exciting project lies ahead which I wanted to share with you. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Display"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 3px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuidisplay-semibold";"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuidisplay-semibold"; font-size: large;">Once upon a time, in a land of peaks and meadows, lived a little white campervan called Stan</span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"><span style="font-size: large;">He was loved so much by his family taking them on amazing adventures, chugging up hills and tootling along lanes down to the sea with them all singing and his engine humming. </span></span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"><span style="font-size: large;">Many years passed and one day Stan found himself feeling very sad indeed. His mum Karina drove and chatted to him daily but he missed hearing the laughter and chitter chatter of children coming from the empty space in the back.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 19.6px;">

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"><span style="font-size: large;">One sunny day, along the banks of Cromford Canal, his mum was exhibiting with her artist friends when she had an idea that made Stan’s headlights shine with delight.</span></span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"><span style="font-size: large;">As plans were explained to him Stan suddenly started to smile and gave an almighty honk on his horn!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"><span style="font-size: large;">He loved that the old school desks under his bed were going to be used, his walls were to be filled with books and tears ran down his windscreen when he heard that children would once again be jumping on board creating memories!</span></span></div>

<br />
Yesterday was spent with a group of writers. We worked outdoors in the meadows and on the banks of Carsington Water using nature as our inspiration and words as our tools.<br />
<br />
I can't remember the last time I really listened to what surrounded me. Yes I can hear the birds, the babbling brook that passes the studio and the rustle of the trees but that is just hearing. Listening takes it to another level. Listening and transferring to words takes it higher still.<br />
<br />
It made me realise that I have been neglectful. When my artist friends talk about being a child always drawing and painting I envied them as painting came to me later in life. I realise now that as a child I always had a pen in my hand, my left hand, always writing, making up stories, writing poems or with my head in a book, often told off at the table for bringing my book to it. I used to tap out my stories on my old typewriter which now sits in my studio. So realising this now I feel less inadequate but sad that it's took up to now.<br />

<br />
The results of keeping a diary as a child has resulted in a loft full of them, none making a fascinating read but nevertheless if tells the story of my childhood. There's also books of poems and stories up there too. Must dig them out. I continued to keep a diary until about 10 years ago and again these are filled with mundane ramblings about school trips, dentist appointments, brownies and scout camps, children's parties and holiday memoirs. <br />
<br />
In January I opened my new 2018 diary* eagerly filling it in but not expecting that feeling to last, but it has. I have continued to write in it, not always daily, but regularly enough to go back and reflect on my week, my life. <br />
<br />
Yesterday's workshop made me realise that I need to allocate more time to my writing. I have two children's stories on the go as well as illustrating, but they seem to get pushed to the back burner whilst painting for exhibitions and events takes precedent not to mention the other stuff going off ie children's workshops, purple and grey, art group, printing business<br />
<br />
So I have decided that when I open my 2019 diary and block out "studio days" this will mean some days will spent just writing and it's not all about the painting. <br />
<br />
I have a lovely area already to sit up the window overlooking the woods so there is no excuse, unless I can't get a seat!<br />

I will still be painting because I have to but I'm hoping more words and stories will feature in my work and in my life.<br />
<br />
Keep you posted.....<br />

*Journaling it appears is the new "keeping a diary" so I'm more "with it" than I thought. <br />
<br />
Whether you use words or art, journaling is way to help reduce stress because you are focusing on the here and now.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow, as Purple of <a href="http://www.purpleandgrey.co.uk/" target="_blank">Purple and Grey</a>, we are delivering an Art Journaling session for The National Head Office of the Youth Hostel Association to support Mental Health Awareness week.<br />

<br />
I had been contacted by The National Trust to run children's book workshops at The National Museum of Childhood at Sudbury Hall as part of their World Book Day weekend of events 3/4 March 2018<br />

<br />
I ran four children's book workshops over the weekend attended by eager and enthusiastic budding young writers and illustrators.<br />
<br />
I think it was in 2005 that, as a mum volunteer, I went on a school trip with my son and daughter's class at Lea Primary to Sudbury Hall.<br />
<br />
I needed to write a story inspired by Sudbury Hall so I asked my two what they remembered from their school trip and both came back with the same answer...... the chimney!!<br />
<br />
The National Museum of Childhood has had many changes since and new interactive features but the chimney experience is still there. It enables daring young "sweeps" to take on a chimney climb and crawl into the darkness to get a feel for what it would have been like for real life chimney sweeps in days gone by.<br />

<br />
<br />
I decided upon a short introduction to a story called The Museum's Magical Chimney to inspire them to create their own story plot, invent their own main character and write what happened to them after they went up the chimney but didn't come out the other end as planned!!<br />
<br />
After I'd read out the introduction it was great to hear their imaginative ideas as we all sat in a group and disappeared into other worlds, parallel universes and went back in time when servants busied away in the kitchens.<br />
<br />
I have a vivid imagination myself but was blown away by the worlds they took us all to and it was funny that chocolate appeared in quite a few of the stories!<br />
<br />
I do hope I get invited back and can highly recommend a visit .... if only I could have got up that chimney!<br />

It seems my decision over Christmas to focus more on my writing was the right one.....<br />

So today I'm not venturing into the studio but going to snuggle up on the settee with a mug of hot chocolate, and Bruno of course, to write a short story set at Sudbury Hall for these new writing and illustrating workshops.<br />
<br />
A very nice surprise indeed. Keep you posted...<br />

<br />
First day back in my studio was a bit nippy but a productive one prepping new work for a new stockist<br />

One of the things I love about January, apart from starting a brand new diary, is knowing Spring is round the corner, that nights will slowly get lighter and the days longer. <br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">I do love being snugged up in Winter though and I'm writing this in front of a roaring fire with Bruno curled up next to me on the settee </span><br />

I have decided that this year I am going to give more time to my writing and the illustration side of my business. I'm hoping to finish the book I started this time last year and I've also started another one. Both are children's books set within the Peak District featuring new animal characters, some being distant relatives to Hippity Hop!<br />
<br />
New for 2018 is Hippity Hop's Holiday Art Club which I will be running during school half terms at Tansley Village Hall for children and families. <a href="mailto:karinagoodman@icloud.com" target="_blank">please email if interested</a> (DBS checked)<br />

I'm looking forward to the <b>Art Group</b> starting again on Wednesday 24th January. We meet 10.30 to 12.30 at a cosy and warm Tansley Village Hall on a regular basis and <b>new members are always welcome. </b> It's open to all creatives who want to spend time with like minded people and work on their own project.

<strong><span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I've always loved the excitement of starting a new notebook or </span></span></strong><span style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial;"><b><span style="font-size: 14px;">diary but this time my shiny new 2018 diary is already looking rather worn and tatty as lots of stuff planned for next year</span></b></span></div>

As some of you may know about 14 years ago I ran a Saturday Art Club for children and I loved it. Some of the girls now have their own children, have grown into beautiful young women and some still wave as they pass me in their cars as they go off to work. My own daughter has gone on to qualify as a Montessori Teacher now working in London.<br /><br />I love working with kids as I’m still one at heart and enjoy being around them. Whilst my kids were at pre-school and then primary I was employed by Notts County Council as a Pre-School Playgroup Worker and then Derbyshire County Council as Playground Supervisor and After School Club Assistant at Lea Primary School. Happy days indeed.<br /><br /> So I’m really excited that for 2018 I will be running an art club for children and families during the school holidays Places will be limited so I am letting you know so you can express an interest<br /><br /><br /><img data-file-id="1793153" height="750" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/1ee581c3dc6fa302842b993ea/images/088a0929-898a-47d4-aa6c-2b0070ae1f68.jpeg" style="border: 0px; display: inline; height: 750px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-decoration: none; width: 500px;" width="500" /><br />

July and August have been a busy few months with work and I am enjoying the freedom that my new home studio brings so we have been getting away most weekends.. I'll tell you more below!<br />
<br />
<b>Studio 61 Printing </b>business has been keeping us busy and I've enjoyed being out and about on the road meeting new customers and delivering their prints and any originals that we have scanned. (We post work out too)<br />

<br />
<b>Purple and Grey</b> is in holiday mode but our <b>Art Group</b> did meet at Tansley Village Hall last week where I ran a workshop. We have a lovely friendly bunch of artists of all abilities and have many laughs. Our next Art Group is on Wednesday 27 Sept 10.30-12.30 and it's £4.95 with lots of free tea and coffee. New members welcome<br />

One thing I am loving is the ability to get out and about so when a regular customer wanted to purchase more artwork for her holiday cottages I was able to take a selection along and have a sneaky peek before it opened for business. I am pleased to say that three originals are now hanging in The Tractor Shed at Riber which is a fab romantic hideaway, a well behaved dog is welcome and is now open for bookings!</div>

I bumped into an old NHS work colleague a few days ago and was asked what did I do now as it had been over 20 years? I found myself trying to explain, conscious of not rabbiting on. </div>

<br />
Last week I had a lovely family day at Sennen when it was a scorcher and upon my return I felt inspired to capture this beautiful place with it's vast expanse of golden sand and bright blue sea.<br />
<br />
I mainly used a palette knife with the exception of the beach so there's lots of paint to dry!<br />
<br />
It is an oil on board approx 10' x 8" and is now available to purchase as it is or I can arrange professional framing. It is not as yet on my website<br />

It so hot that I went in the sea to cool off without my wetsuit for the first time in about 18 years (wimp). We had an encounter with a seal swimming nearby (don't know who was more surprised) and Bruno enjoyed cooling off in rock pools and splashing about in the sea. He's getting quite brave and we had a job to get him out of the sea but it all got too much for him at Sennen Cove.</div>

Whilst I was in Cornwall we visited the lovely<a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.facebook.com/atishoodesignsgallery/" href="https://www.facebook.com/atishoodesignsgallery/" target="_blank"> Atishoo Designs Gallery </a>who have stocked my work for a few years and now have a new range of my coastal oils and greeting cards. </div>

Charlestown was used as a Poldark and Pirates of the Caribbean film location but sadly neither Mr Turner or Mr Depp were spotted.</div>

I am also pleased to announce that two pieces of my artwork were selected for <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.earthpathwaysdiary.uk" href="https://www.earthpathwaysdiary.uk/" target="_blank">The Earth Pathways 2018 Diary</a> and having received my diary just before I went away it was lovely to see <strong>Mermaid's Pool and Moonlit Horizon in this publication. </strong> It is so much more than a diary, full of inspirational words and images.</div>

Before I went away I worked on a <strong>new oil painting </strong>using just a palette knife. Despite all the heat over the last few weeks this is still not dry as I used lots of thick paint and texture.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is an oil on a 40 cm box canvas now for sale in a white wood tray frame</div>

My new studio location under the trees is definitely having affect on my work and more tree paintings are planned. </div>

My week in Cornwall has inspired me to work on some new coastal ones and with another trip to the coast planned in a few weeks I know the sea and our wonderful coastline will be the subject of my Summer painting days in the studio.</div>

Hope you have a good Summer and hope to catch up soon</div>

With family commitments, two Derbyshire Open Arts Events and Purple and Grey work I've not painted as much as I would have liked lately.<br />
<br />
For the first time I have got involved in the Buxton Spa Prize seeing it not as a competition but as a way to get me painting something different. I haven't got a competitive bone in my body so I was quite happy to get my canvas stamped, choose a number and being given a location to paint. Today I delivered the framed oil on canvas. I will keep you posted when the preview is.<br />
<br />
On my return the sun was out and family were out working so I had a lovely few hours pottering down in my studio under a canopy of trees with shafts of sunlight dancing on the decking. I'd got a canvas I'd been building up with layers and textures and I felt inspired.<br />
<br />
Using just a palette knife and my fingers, with trees and sunlight in mind, I've been working on this impasto oil on the 40 cm box canvas today and ended up wearing most of it. <br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Also finally sorted new studio out. I'd collected all sorts of stuff over the 11 years of having retail premises but can finally see the floor and am now getting so much more done. I do miss catching up with customers but my old premises at Holloway will be opening as a Cafe this Summer so be good to meet up there for coffee and catch up</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My latest painting was inspired by a day trip to the North Yorkshire Coast. A long way to go for the day I know but we go often go to Cayton Bay where we park up in Stan on the headland and hubby sometimes surfs it it's working. This time it was as flat as a pancake so a ride up the coast to Whitby and a bag of chips it was, followed by a long drive home in the moonlight</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Standing waiting for my little boy (6' 5") to come through arrivals and reflecting on recent family events made me think of two of my favourite films "Love Actually" and "Four Weddings and a Funeral". </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Richard Curtis, the writer, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">must have gained inspiration from such hectic family life whether his or observational. Either way both films were amazing and thankfully none of February's shenanigans resulted in a punch up!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">March is promising to be a very busy month with lots planned and already I've had time in the studio, finished a commission which has now been collected and I've started two new ones.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">March also sees my first exhibition for this year</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">MOONLIGHT, MIST AND MOORS </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Featured Artist at <a href="http://cromfordstudioandgallery.weebly.com/" target="_blank">Cromford Studio and Gallery</a> -</span><br />

I love doing House Portraits and over the years have painted a variety of property types in watercolours and oils from cute tiny terraces, barn conversions to the grand old residence in it's own grounds.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9THj1_3TL8brAGETgpNjmuBFJToKi57f5Q3oCUjD6DESABCzkMbt16C9T09WW3Lon07uU3UpNGd2l9tYyXqk235YoVEvqxyQK9_xgg1nD4mFZaNqysKVamOBuzvCvnU9n-wpTF2Y_fZBy/s1600/fullsizeoutput_356.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9THj1_3TL8brAGETgpNjmuBFJToKi57f5Q3oCUjD6DESABCzkMbt16C9T09WW3Lon07uU3UpNGd2l9tYyXqk235YoVEvqxyQK9_xgg1nD4mFZaNqysKVamOBuzvCvnU9n-wpTF2Y_fZBy/s320/fullsizeoutput_356.jpeg" width="320" /></a>If I can, in addition to working from customer photos, I like to visit or at least drive by to have a nosey and also get a feel for the property and see how it sits in it's surroundings. Some I have had the pleasure of visiting and on many occasions have turned up in my old white campervan with my dog and the neighbours must have thought The Clampets had arrived or I was sussing out the joint. I was in a way but not for nicking anything other than ideas and the atmosphere<br />
<br />
On two occasions I had to wait for the electric gates to be opened to let old Stan the Van in but having said that more often than not I have been commissioned to paint what I call normal properties such as the suburban semi, the row of terraced or a middle terrace "but let's pretend we have no neighbours" and we did.. their house was the main star with the others fading out. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLUf4xfZBD182Tj06Qt2r9D2oL6vLISvuEjJ3ODFJfIu0wYKLh9nPwknH83S3T-w8r4ApZAmvc6l8TsBbf4fj3OIP4KtADrNkFr2XueQXJwrABjFOzY-lvZTM9p2NjMds-3LWenaoSgB4Z/s1600/IMG_3928.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLUf4xfZBD182Tj06Qt2r9D2oL6vLISvuEjJ3ODFJfIu0wYKLh9nPwknH83S3T-w8r4ApZAmvc6l8TsBbf4fj3OIP4KtADrNkFr2XueQXJwrABjFOzY-lvZTM9p2NjMds-3LWenaoSgB4Z/s320/IMG_3928.JPG" width="320" /></a>So I'm really looking forward to starting my current commission. I am working to the customers budget and colour palette but obviously in my style. It won't be photographic, that's not me at all, but hopefully will capture the essence of their lovely home with it's sweeping drive and beautiful gardens. <br />
<br />
That reminds me, I once did one where they wanted it wonky and the lovely garden the main feature. I was also asked to paint their two cats, which I did... one was in a tree and the ginger one was just about to dive into the bushes!<br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A nice start to February for me was seeing one of my paintings on the front cover of Country Images Magazine after being asked to send a selection to choose from. They chose "On Blueberry Hill" which is a watercolour available framed or as a giclee print.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've also noticed that the evenings are getting a bit lighter which is just great. I don't mind the cold but it's the wet damp weather and anyone with a dog will know that walks mean muddy paw prints ....everywhere! 🐾</span><br />

We usually end up somewhere high up on the moors or along the edges and always think it would be rude not to call for a pint!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">However today the rain hasn't stopped so we've had a day pottering and I've spent a lovely day in my studio with the heater on and my mug of coffee topped up. Bruno chose to stay with me (not daft as it's warm and cosy) and I've managed to crack on with the three canvases I'm still underpainting for the tryptic commission and prepping lots of new canvases listening to Michael Ball on the radio. As soon as Elaine Paige came on so did my own music! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It was whilst listening to one of my favourite songs by Led Zeppelin that the name for my new series of paintings for 2017 was finalised. I'd been struggling with a title for ages. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">😀</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I knew what the content would be as I am doing a series of oils and watercolours inspired by my Sunday walks. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So with more of a focus I had another few hours working on the first one of the series and had an idea for the second</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Ramble On Series #1 - Beeley Moor</span><br />

Not everyone can afford to splash out can they. Besides "it's the thought that counts".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I often happily stopped what I was working on to do an impromptu little personalised painting and after working on bigger canvases I always enjoyed the break and the challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">One special memory was a regular customer with her wedding on the horizon looking for "thank you" gifts for her bridesmaids and best man. We looked at jewellery and the usual things but with the ages ranging so much she wanted something that would unite all the gifts yet be personal to each and every one. We chatted more and she mentioned that the song "A perfect day" would play a role and then she spoke about each and every bridesmaid and the best man and what they all liked. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">2015 and 2016 saw me mainly painting in oils, landscapes of the Peak District on canvases but I started out as a watercolour artist and still love the unpredictability and delicateness of watercolours. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Since moving to my new private studio I've been asked if I am still doing the little family trees, and the "I love you more than..." minis which again were an unusual yet affordable gift.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The answer is YES!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I've not put these on my website as I want to keep that for my paintings and prints but you can get in touch by email karinagoodman@icloud.com or pop over </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">to my Etsy Shop where you can see more info and order online </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 12px;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Studio61GalleryGifts">https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Studio61GalleryGifts</a> </span><br />

The customer did want a 6 foot canvas but because of high shipping costs and possible damage I suggested three canvases to form one painting. Really looking forward to the challenge of this</span><br />
