Onward and upward ...

First of all, a belated Happy New Year to everyone!
 
I see by my last post that it is exactly a month since I last blogged. Suffice it to say a lot has been happening behind the scenes here, not least my daughter falling seriously ill in Mexico just before Christmas. She is now back home recovering and I am hopefully back on track with studio work. It was a rocky end to 2013.
 
I'm still waiting for the scan to come back from my Dr Johnson's House collage, so that I will next week.


Currently on the table is a design for a bookmark for Keats House which, if I do say so myself, is looking very good. Based on the Ode to a Nightingale and very summery. I am just putting a few finishing touches to it though I did declare it finished on my facebook page (Amanda White Art)
https://www.facebook.com/AmandaWhiteNaiveArt?skip_nax_wizard=true last night. Above is a photo I took when it was still in the process of coming together.
And here's a detail I snapped yesterday:


The Ode to a Nightingale is my favourite Keats poem and one I am happy I was forced to have to commit to memory while at school. As you see I managed to get the "draught of vintage" into the picture.
 
Once the weather is more favourable I will be able to take a better photo. In the meantime I have a couple of doll-portraits coming up and a private commission involving a castle tower...
Like I said, onwards and upwards!

  2. Oh how very scary to be dealing with a serious health issue from afar. I am glad she is home and on the mend. I do love your new work and I too love Ode to a Nightingale. My husband is a poet writing several books in verse on his childhood in cold war Vienna.
