Latest news in the world of Jo Walker Art...
Well here we are fast advancing on Halloween and I'm in the middle of my favourite season. Love the trees in my garden rioting with their colour schemes and then chucking it all away! So anarchic!
Anyway, what have I been up to? Have joined Designer Products Online (www.designerproductsonline.com) an online directory of great designers and their services and products in the UK. Very proud to be amongst them!
Work done lately includes a tryptich of silver-leafed panels (see above) done for a lovely person who has commissioned lots of work from me and is not afraid to give me free rein to do what I want! The best kind of client! Here I have created canvasses with lots of different silver layers and patinas, using my specialist painting skills to create panels that change according to where you stand in relation to them, or how the light falls on them. They are beautiful and bonkers!
Other work: I have also been commissioned to design a logo for The Ruby Larks- a fantastic female duo with extraordinary harmonies and musicianship who really pack a mighty punch! I've based the logo on an old-style tattoo,(above left), bringing in the concepts of love, pain, strength, beauty, teamwork, drama. These women tell it like it is!
Other news:- I've been drafted in to teach art at my son and daughter's school on a Monday afternoon. First project has been on C17th artist Archimboldo who painted portraits made up of fruit and vegetables..... What are these curriculum setters ON these days?!!! Great results though from my 8-9 year old so far...!
Finally, my 2-tone portraits (see portrait page, click on two-tone) are selling amazingly well at the discounted price of £50 for a 20"x20" canvas til Christmas. Busy, busy,busy - book early to avoid disappointment!
Cheers art lovers!
Jo xx
