Innocent Artist Abroad: November 2011
http://innocentartist.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 22 November 2011. Aspiring artists must form a band. It’s the law. I can’t play anything at all, and my singing voice has been accurately but brutally described as a merciless weapon of death, so I doubt my offer of lead vocals will be welcomed (mind you, that didn’t stop Ian Brown.). I asked my friends for help. Carla Easton. If I am to be an artist I must innocently form a band. I can’t play anything, nor can I write songs. Perhaps I can intone lyrics in an edgy fashion, and pret...I can try m...

Monday, 9 June 2014. That's the news. This blog will return. Soon. Very soon. And I've achieved some of my goals. But still suffer terribly from sarcasm. See you soon! Posted by Penny Anderson.

Innocent Artist Abroad: August 2011
http://innocentartist.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 August 2011. Performance art is weird isn’t it? It straddles the gap between mime, acting and unfortunately, on occasions, straightforward annoyance. But I was truly eager to try it, perhaps more than anything else on my ever lengthening art-to-do list, which is why on one glorious sunny day, I was seen wearing ( please no – not a bunny costume! A bunny costume while wandering around a park. Maybe critique it as you would a painting, or stand and gaze in awe? It’s so very difficult. The totem...

Innocent Artist Abroad: June 2012
http://innocentartist.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 13 June 2012. Here I sit (oh woe is me! Pole-axed by the trauma, the trauma, but struggling onwards with my art. Another rejection letter …boom - another picture! A row with my friend…boom - another piece of work! I wallow in despair at life in general…boom – more art. But is it enough? Shouldn’t my life be spirit-sappingly and relentlessly awful? Well, dedicated artists must endure eternal suffering. Shouldn’t they? I’ve just read a biography of Keats, who died young of a horrible, incu...

Innocent Artist Abroad: August 2014
http://innocentartist.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Friday, 1 August 2014. I’ve not been an artist very long. I started with a few modest ambitions, such as selling work, having a piece of mine (or two.or three.) accepted into a permanent collection, a solo show, and a review in a major publication, some of which I’ve achieved. Being complimented was never on the list, but I will admit, it is nice. This much I know: say thank you very much. Quickly. Do not explain the work in detail or at all, unless asked. It’s completely brilliant, isn’t it? My solo ret...

Innocent Artist Abroad: July 2011
http://innocentartist.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, 30 July 2011. WTF - Grafitti found on Glasgow wall. The art shop didn’t like the way I was handling the easels (look: I was feeling the grain of the wood) but I finally exhausted their tolerance for what the manager claimed was: “taking my clothes off” to do this (it was a mistake! It was only my jumper! Jeesh) (Mmmm easels….). And horsehair; what’s that all about – is it made from real horses? That’s just cruel: those poor little bald ponies. Then there is the magical world of boxes, container...

Innocent Artist Abroad: October 2011
http://innocentartist.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, 23 October 2011. The BBC’s recent excuse for a show ‘Show Me The Monet’ (if ever an idea was generated by the title arriving first, that’s it) was a sort of Dragon’s Den meet. Artists showed their work to a panel of (supposed) experts, and looking directly into their cold dead eyes, named their price. I like that attitude. Pricing work is always so hard. I have been asked to put a price on my work several times, and never know what to say. How do you value art? And does size matter? Funnily enoug...
