This is exciting news indeed. North Gallery on North Street, Bedminster, Bristol, BS3 1HT, UK has been refurbished, repainted and social distancing measures put in place, and it reopens on 4 July. The website is www.northgalleryworkspace.co.uk and any enquiries can be emailed to enquiries.northstreetgallery@gmail.com. We are always looking for new artists to show their work. 4 artists, including myself, have taken on the management of the gallery and are keen to promote local artists. Bristol is a real Centre for art including Upfest, the Urban Paint Festival, the centre of which takes place on our very own North Street, and is known worldwide, and of course we are home to Banksy….. I shall be showing my small paintings, all of which are catalogued here, along with some new work, and I will have cards available as well. I am also now undertaking commissions, so if you would like to let me know colour preferences to suit your home, I am very happy to do this. Likewise which fruit, vegetables, flowers, donuts (and now lipsticks) you would like in the compositions. The size is always 8 x 8” framed in white, oil on paper, £65. I keep being told to…

First and foremost, my apologies over a technical glitch. I was fortunate in that a prospective buyer emailed me having had no response to the enquiry sent through the Contact Form on my site here. I would have had no idea there was a problem, so I am very grateful for that email and the Contact Form has now been removed. If you HAVE tried to contact me that way, may I suggest you contact me via my email michetoots@yahoo.co.uk and I will respond immediately. Thanks. North Gallery Workspace will be reopening on the 4 July, with appropriate social distancing measures put in place. I am very excited about this as it is a Gallery run by artists and up until lockdown had been doing very well. We have been busy repainting and refurbishing the space and are going to be increasing our online presence big time. I will be updating information here, so keep looking ! I have been inundated with commissions recently for the small fruit/veg/donut paintings so please bear with me time wise. I really enjoy painting these and welcome commissions so please get in touch to discuss colours, subjects etc. I am thinking of painting lipsticks…

Someone said to me once that they don’t even like donuts, but for some strange reason are drawn to my donut paintings and again these are selling well. I am today having fun painting my first flower in the same style, bright, cheerful colours with pronounced shadows. Today it’s a Californian Poppy, that wonderful bright yellow and orange contrasting against a turquoise blue background. It will be up on the website next week. As a result of increased sales, I am often being asked on my Instagram page whether I have a catalogue of available paintings. Normally customers trawl through my Instagram page and then contact me direct to ask if a certain painting is available to buy. Now at last I have set up a Catalogue where you can just click through to buy the painting of your choice, and I have even sorted out shipping and postal prices (tracking included). …
