Lockdown Escapism

There is a quote – something along the lines ‘ Art is the only way to run away without leaving home’.

Lately I have enjoyed making little collages from sweet wrappings and decorative glittery papers.

Here are some of them…….

Blue Parrot

Little Red House

Two Cats

Guardian Angel

Return of North One Artist

I have been very neglectful of North One Artist recently but will make amends! WordPress informs me that today stats have dramatically risen on views to this site and I have no idea why but thank you and watch this space. In this lockdown time all ways of contact are so good.

This painting is part of the Royal Watercolour Society’s exhibition which you can see and purchase online

Showtime at the Circus

“Award winning painter Bridget Moore has long been attracted to the subject of circuses,fairgrounds and theatres.Sometimes dark and  edgy,her work has an energy that captures the sense of faded grandeur and exciting atmosphere of performance, often based on her childhood memories.”

Bridget will be showing paintings at

PV Thursday 8 September 6-8pm
