My day with Fannie and Fox..

As it turned out my day to look after the shop was a damp misty day.. 

As I left Falmouth on the train the fog horns were sounding, just as they are this morning.. 

I like the noise, such a simple sound to keep one safe..

So, here I was at the gallery thinking it would be very quiet due to the inclement weather.
Organised for once, I took paints, brushes and a couple of small canvases that I'd started the previous day and started work. (notice my improvised water container..)  I think people must have been curious because I had several people come in to see what on earth I was up to..

Needless to say I didn't get a lot done but I did have some very interesting conversations.

.. One conversation was about sound and a recent radio 2 program with Claire Balding, apparently it's about music and healing on a Saturday mornings.

This got me thinking.. Not really a good idea one might say, but, my question is..

Could I transfer sound into my work?

Which leads me back to the lighthouse in Falmouth sounding the fog horns as I sit and type this blog..

Have a good day everyone.. ~ Julie.

Well here we go... On a Co-operative journey... 1st post...

Here goes...  I have been chosen/invited to join the Co-op.. Ha!!  Yes, it is the Co-op. But not as you know it.. An artists Co-op set up by an amazing lady called Pam Tongue, more about the amazing Pam soon.
 
I would like to invite you to join me, on a journey with Fannie and Fox, a Gallery run as a Co-Operative in Penryn, Cornwall.  My idea is to write a blog about my adventures with the other artists at Fannie & Fox and this is my very first post.  I expect the layout will change as I rack my brain on how to play around and make it better, It's been years since I set up my last one so please bare with me..

My plan is to show you around the gallery, I will introduce you to the other artists and show you their work.. I'm also hoping that they will invite me to their studio's to take a little peek and take a few photo's for the blog. (How I love an artists studio).. 

The blog will be a warts and all blog. So, good times will be recorded along with the not so good times too.. The ups and downs of working with a lot of creative women should be an interesting read. I hope!

Also in the mix I will show you my new work that is going in the gallery and perhaps a peek or two at other galleries in Penryn, Falmouth and the local area.. Meeting other artists as we go..

 Here are a few of the pieces I have put into the gallery.
