http://bridgethunter.blogspot.com/2014/08/coffee-and-exhibtion.html
Paintings of Scotland and other inspirations. Wednesday, 27 August 2014. Coffee and an Exhibtion. Oil on Box Canvas 10x10". Oil on Box Canvas 8x8". Oil on Canvas 8x10". My friend Margaret Law and I are taking part in a joint exhibition at a venue in Mauchline, Ayrshire. It's a new local gallery which started out life as a gift shop. It's now a Coffee Shop and Gallery and well worth a visit for the cakes alone. It's great to see a new local Art Gallery becoming popular. Posted by Bridget Hunter. Thankyou ...

Bridget Hunter's Paintings: Two for Open Studios Ayrshire
http://bridgethunter.blogspot.com/2014/03/two-for-open-studios-ayrshire.html
Paintings of Scotland and other inspirations. Sunday, 16 March 2014. Two for Open Studios Ayrshire. Oil on canvas 12x12". Oil on board 12x10". Painting to pull together some unfinished works that have lain under a bed waiting for inspiration but the truth is I've been really afraid to tackle them. It gets like that sometimes, I just don't know what to do next so I hide them and just hope! However the Open Studio event is getting closer and a few other exhibitions so I need to finish some of those . Thank...

... At the rim of the far-flung sky: Cutting the Template
http://farflungsky.blogspot.com/2012/11/cutting-template.html
At the rim of the far-flung sky. Sunday, November 11, 2012. I've Started to cut away at the lino to leave my print design. This is probably the most labour intensive part of the process as you tend to spend a long time doing this, hunched over the lino. I always need to take plenty of breaks otherwise my neck and shoulders hurt after a while. I didn't get much colour experiments done today as I left it late and then the darkness came. I now realise that I really do need to get more organised. I o...Jenni...

At the rim of the far-flung sky. Tuesday, October 30, 2012. You don't need lots of expensive equipment to do printmaking - many printmakers prefer to do everything by hand. All you need is a space to do your work uninterrupted by the rest of the family for a few hours each week. This is my drying line, a piece of thick string hung between two bookcases in my studio. The string is held in place by a couple of magazine boxes filled with previous copies of Wildlife magazine. Links to this post. I was lucky ...

... At the rim of the far-flung sky: September 2011
http://farflungsky.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
At the rim of the far-flung sky. Wednesday, September 21, 2011. I was really looking forward to today's Life Drawing Class, but unfortunately we were sorely disappointed as the life model didn't turn up! However, our lecturer Chris organised the lesson around drawing an A1 figure from an A4 drawing. I really enjoyed this session and although my drawing was not finished, I thought I would still show it. I have put this drawing in the drawer ready to form part of my life drawing portfolio. Andrea Clark wit...

... At the rim of the far-flung sky: Lest We Forget - Art as a record
http://farflungsky.blogspot.com/2012/11/lest-we-forget-art-as-record.html
At the rim of the far-flung sky. Sunday, November 11, 2012. Lest We Forget - Art as a record. On Remembrance Sunday, we always take time to observe the 2 minute silence and reflect on the loss inflicted in the name of war. I find this all very moving (my son always teases me about my glassy eyes). We took our son to France in 2010 on a Battlefield Holiday and although the title isn't great, it was our annual holiday.

At the rim of the far-flung sky. Tuesday, November 27, 2012. Using Your Own Reference Material. I've been a bit remiss lately about taking my camera with me whenever I go for a walk. I got into the habit of always having it with me either in the car, walking the dog, or just nearby in the house in case little creatures appeared like this robin. So, off to print some more.

At the rim of the far-flung sky. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. And the worlds goes to sleep . There is something warm and comforting about a large orange glow in the sky. I can't think of anything better than to end a hard day at the office with a peaceful walk in the Somerset countryside with Mr P. Links to this post. Sunday, March 27, 2011. Links to this post.

At the rim of the far-flung sky. Wednesday, August 31, 2011. A world where everything is made of paper. Imagine a world where everything is made of paper - well the project is progressing, but as I am working on a small scale, it is taking quite a bit of planning, experimentation and modelling. The smallest flowers are about 1.5cm square, the poppies and teasels are about 3cm square. So there are lots of tweezer work involved and I'm using a scalpel rather than scissors. Still lots more to do! I found th...

Bridget Hunter's Paintings: A Tale of Before and After
http://bridgethunter.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-tale-of-before-and-after.html
Paintings of Scotland and other inspirations. Wednesday, 9 April 2014. A Tale of Before and After. Trees at Burns Cottage. Sometimes you struggle and struggle trying to use paint to express an idea and it just doesn't work and you either give up or accept the unsatisfactory image. The image below never pleased me but I took a photo anyway and posted it online. Yesterday I took it out of the frame and radically attacked it determined that it was either going to work or be relegated to the bin. Putting dow...
