Right,
So here we are… 1 month into 2010 and I feel I should keep you all up to date with the latest very exciting news.
This month I painted another two ‘Painting Peace’ pictures – one was for Alan Rubenstein, the Managing Director of the JC (thank G-d I only found this out after as I would have been on speilskas whilst painting it!) and another was for my dear friend Miri, who was overcome with emotion when she saw the original that I promised her one.
I also sold my lovely ‘Lily’ painting during a visit to Athena (a ladies networking group) so rather than having a blank space where it once lived in my lounge I have put up ‘Obama’ – not quite the same feel but still looks good. (This painting is for sale by the way!)
My dream of a celebrity client could be round the corner - It turns out I have got the opportunity to create a pop art concept forDuncan Bannatyne and James Caan through Janice Dalton, a lady I met at Athena. So I am trawling through the Internet to find ‘the photo’ I have in mind to ‘pop’ and will get to work on these first.
Exhibition wise – we are thinking something along the lines of ‘Sign of the Times – Where We’re At.’ This would incorporate a collection of paintings that represent where we are in terms of anything from TV, Cars, Politics, Music or Sport.
The collection will be complete and will tour the UK in September. Email info@joannagilbert.com to receive details of when & where the exhibition will be.
Big thanks to my Patron – the one and only Michael Maslen and of course Monique!
