Pamela Lines

The last four months have been very busy for me. Not necessarily in my art world. I have spent time in art galleries and art exhibitions, doing en plein aire and meeting with other artists and like minded people, but I haven’t been very productive in painting.

Another venue for my work is the Waihi Accounting Services Ltd. Their front window now has some strong watercolour artwork .

Art Edit Magazine is an Australian produced magazine that I was able to put an article and some work of mine in. Lots of new areas of exposure. This was featured in their Summer Edition 2020 magazine.

December was a time when I did feel the need to paint the beautiful Waihi beach once more.

The March April 2020 edition of New Zealand Artist Magazine has an article about the small art group, Unlimited Palette. As a member of this group it has been another opportunity for me to show my work to a wider audience.

With the likelihood of the cancelation of the Royal Easter Show due to Covid-19, I will not be exhibiting two pieces that were ready to be transported to the big event. They will now be in my home studio for personal viewing. Contact me if you would like to view.

Finally I would like to share some little plein aire sketches that I have just done while cycling the Otago Rail Trail with my daughter.

Keep safe out there. From Pamela.

It’s been such a busy couple of months! I work hard through the winter months to build up my portfolio that I use during the exhibition period.

Exhibitions

This years exhibition period started when I sold ‘Birds on the Beach’ at the Franklin Arts festival held in Pukekohe.

 

I had a work in the Salon de Refusse in the Rotorua exhibition which I also sold.

A flight to Wellington saw us arrive at the Watercolour New Zealand ‘SPLASH’ exhibition. Thrilled to see my painting with a red dot. The Wellington exhibition is a highlight of my art year. Over 300 paintings all of which are watercolour, together in one space, so inspirational.

Also had a Popup at Waihi Beach and was in the Waikino exhibition on Labour Weekend.

For all those who have connected with my art, through a Popup, exhibition or in my studio, thank you!

Art Classes

I have had some inquires recently from people who have attended my Beginner Watercolour class wanting to progress their skills and learn more at an intermediate level.  I’m looking at a 4 week course on either Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning for 2 hours, starting 25th or 26th November.  Cost – $80 (provide own materials). Contact me if you would like some more information.

5 artists 3 studios. Looking forward to Saturday and Sunday this weekend when we open our studios to the invited public.

Open until the 20th January 2019. The space looks great with my watercolours in a format that displays them so well. One of my Reconnecting series has sold.

Using the reconnected series I have gone back into them and reworked with dribbling, washes and pastel.

Some of this reconnecting series are going to be used to go back into. Dribbles, pastel and random washes will give a new interest.

Our art group ‘ Unlimited Palette ‘ are currently exhibiting at Harry Maddox jeweller, Main St. Katikati until the end of the month of November.

Another example of dissecting my paintings and reconnecting into a new whole.

Keeping  the colours coherent creates patterns and images restful for the eye.
