Hi 

Autumn is here, and the leaves are turning some incredible colours already. Making the most of the sun, I set up my paints in the garden to get some pieces ready for Hitchin Art Market this week. I love painting outdoors. Here's a sneak peak at some of the things I've been creating. Since my mission is 'art for the heart', I've made some new heart cards and a large acrylic decoration. The heart cards can be used as tree decorations, but I like the way they swing in the open card too.

Some exciting news: to celebrate the season of autumn abundance, I'm having an art harvest festival. I have created a bounty of mini abstract paintings that I'm offering for £65 each. If you've always wanted to own an original canvas, this would be the time to grab one! They are 20 x 20cms, and Festus-Joy is framed. Just message me if you'd like more details/ pictures. One of the lovely things about showing people abstract paintings is how they always see something new in them, so have a look and if you see shapes or people or animals, do let me know :-)

Want to join me for a painting session this month? Come along to Creative Doodles, and for those of you who like a bit of manifesting, I'm hosting a Vision Board workshop at the end of October. Of course, if you're local, come and see me at Hitchin Art Market on Saturday - details below.
