Very happy to say that I SOLD 2 paintings yesterday! My new large "Lost in Translation" and "Interstellar" bought by people who already have at least one painting 😃Difficult to describe how happy I get when they find place in someone's home. Thank you xx #newhome #sold #happyartist #abstract

Pop in to The Art Works while you're strolling around Watchet to see what we have to show you! We currently have the work of BrendaJay (the owner of The Art Works) and of Gina May & Angus Selene. Plenty of lovely pieces for you to choose from 😄
I could have done an art degree at 60 but I decided to paint every day instead 😄 One of a series of 6 small paintings called Red is the Star. This is number V #noartdegree #choices #lifestylechoice #laterlife #Red
SOLD! Comet - Original Art by BrendaJay I've sold paintings over the last couple of weeks, but the admin of https://the-art-works.com/ gallery & studio has been taking up a lot of my time - in a good way 😊 Green background with multiple colour comet trail from bottom right to top left #sold #comet
Thank you so much to everybody who came to my launch party on Friday. It was a blast and I was quite overwhelmed by the number of people who came and all the encouragement and good wishes I received! It really couldn't have gone any better 😄 #newventure #artgallery #theartworks

Lola is home! Now we need pet insurance 🙄. Bit of a minefield by the looks of it! If you are in the UK and insure a large dog and are happy with your insurance, would you let me know who you use please? Looking at lifelong insurance. Thank you !
It's been 30 years today since my mother died. Mostly it seems so long ago, but somehow today it feels like no time at all has passed. xx
SOLD! "Disrupted" from a time in my life where nothing seemed to be going in a straight line, lots of crossings and changes of direction. #life #disrupted #abstractart #noteasy #art

Some of you may have seen my previous posts about this artwork. I've finally finished! This is the story from end to beginning - Enjoy 😂 It's called "Crisis". Which crisis is up to you. #crisis #abstractart #art #artist
"Night on Bare Mountain" painted a while ago, while listening to the piece by Modest Mussorgsky on repeat. Someone recently told me that they could feel the music while looking at the painting! I think it's about time I did some more painting to music #art #abstractart #abstract #music
I've put my larger painting on the back burner for a while - it needs some contemplation! So, in the meantime I've done this - no name as yet - it will come to me in its own good time... I've added detail photos to show texture #art #abstractart #newart #artist #abstractartist
My abstract art has a lot of detail giving great depth and texture. It is incredibly difficult to get this across on social media. The recent open studios I did showed me that I was right! Any idea how to combat this issue? Detail pic first with explanation #abstractart #art #abstractdetail
