Happy New Year!
 Happy 2010 to one and all!
Phew! Have to say I'm glad the Christmas festivities are done and dusted and I can go about the business of trying to repair my liver and lose the spare tyre! Pre-Christmas was busy on the portraits front - I did a total of 13 in 2 weeks. First project for 2010 is a 6ft x 6ft mosaic piece for my children's school. I have in mind a glorious colourful collection of panels which will depict the things the children enjoy doing in school. It will involve all the children who have been asked to design panels with titles such as 'learning', 'play', worship', 'eco', 'health' and 'friendship'. We will then choose 6 to incorporate into the design, and each child will lay at least one tile. The final masterpiece will be in the foyer of school to wow and welcome our visitors!
Watch this space for our progress. We aim to be done by Easter! (Pictured left is another school mosaic project completed by Tilemagic.) Labels: affordable portraits, bespoke art, Jo Walker, Jo Walker Art, mosaics, school mosaic projects, Staffordshire artist
November News
 Good day one and all. Christmas is fast approaching - eek! and I am busy with gift orders. Especially popular are the aforementioned 2-tone portraits (see above) for the special Christmas price of £50 for a 20x20" canvas. A quick price check with organisations such as Venture and Youareart shows what an extraordinary bargain this is so hurry hurry!
I have also introduced gift vouchers so if you 'd like to buy a loved one an original work of art but are unsure of their taste - then this is the option for you! Vouchers start from £50. Get in touch on 07860 163225 or on jo@jowalkerart.com.
Finally I am proud to join the fantastic collective of Stoke Creative (www.stokecreative.org.uk) - a superb website listing creative people, organisations and events based in and around Stoke-on-Trent. Thanks guys - I am pleased to be amongst you!
That's all for now - back to the easel!

New two-tone portraits
  Hello art lovers! In my meanderings trying out new styles for the portrait listed below I have developed a two-tone modern style which is already selling like hot cakes! I have painted 16 of these for a bedroom and they have captured their subjects brilliantly. I wanted them all to be smiley, happy expressions so that the room is full of joviality! I will be uploading examples to the Portrait page shortly with a very tempting introductory price you won't be able to resist but in the meantime, here's an example or two. All I would need from you is an emailed photo of your choice and away we go! Look forward to hearing from you soon,
Jo xx

Here is a new piece of work using an unusual pallette of colours. I took three different photographs and assembled them on one large deep edged canvas to depict this distinguished gentleman and his two sons. Joy all round!
