Feeling super grateful - reflection after the Open Weekend
I am feeling super grateful for closing doors on an early evening this Sunday. I was overwhelmed with all the support from wonderful guests. Many pieces found new homes, many glasses of prosecco were drunk, and pieces of cheesecake were eaten. It is time now to fill my glass and put my feet up.
Preparing for the Open Studio Weekend
At the end of the month, I am hosting the first one Open Studio in our new house.
There will be plenty of new artwork, prints, cheesecake and fizz.
Join me on:
28th October ( Saturday)
29th October (Sunday), both days, from 11-5 pm.
If you would like to catch up, please send me a message, and will forward you my Studio Home Address.

My favourite Piece from the New Collection
Here is my favourite piece from the upcoming collection
I will never forget this sunny spell created after the snow disappeared. Strong contrast, bold marks.
How should I name it?
New start, new collection
We have just moved to a new house not far from our previous place. Our house had to be within walking distance from the sea...that was of my must. Our new home has got a dedicated place for my creating art: a studio.
It is time to create a new collection with a new studio and setting. The new work will combine inspiration from my new and old neighbourhood. The brushmarks will be much looser, I am excited about this collection.
It is all about the colours and texture
Forrest Green Collection - Bespoke Collection for Interior Design Project
This collection was created for one of the Edinburgh-based interior designers. The pieces aimed to be placed in the high end restaurant. The palette included a forest green, a touch of gold and black.
Winter Trip to Highlights
When someone says road trip, I always jump into the car, ensuring my phone is charged, as I take tons of photos. My husband's friend came from Spain, and we could not take him to the beautiful and surreal Highlands.
Day one of #21daysinmyartworld : FAVOURITE PAINTING
I have chosen 'Berwick Bay' as it is a current favourite painting of mine. I love how the soft sky's loose marks contrast with the beach's sharp, nearly geometric lines. In my upcoming work, I will develop the feeling of bold marks inspired by the dreamy seascape of East Lothian.
I created this painting as a commission. My lovely client sent a beautiful photo of Berwick Bay in situ. I will be opening soon for taking commissions for this year.
INTRODUCTION TO 21 DAYS IN MY ART WORLD CHALLENGE
Hello Wave Catcher,
I decided to join the 21 DAYS IN MY ART WORLD CHALLENGE as this allows me to share more about my current practice. Fellow artist Tara Leaver set up the challenge.
Happy New Year 2023!
I feel blessed and very thankful to be able to continue to follow my dream day in and day out. None of this is possible without your incredible support. Your messages of encouragement and course purchases have all been amazing and greatly appreciated. Each time you have reached out, you have supported a small business and helped create a steadier footing from where future ideas can come to fruition.
I hope all your wishes and dreams come true for the new sparkling year of 2023!
OPEN HOME STUDIO
If you fancy a bit of homemade cheesecake, you are stuck for the Xmas presents, pop into my Open Studio Home.
My home studio is scrubbed, the Christmas decorations are on, and the prosecco is in the fridge.
As it is a month to Christmas, I will be selling my hand-painted baubles inspired by the colours of the sea, Parisian blue, soft pink and warm touch of gold.
I have the Xmas cards too. I hand finish with gold leaf liquid pen every single of these cards as well, as everyone deserves special treatment.
There will be a range of paintings available with a huge 30% discount, too. I will be opening my home studio on Saturday and Sunday. Both days are from 11-5 pm.
My address is 19F Millhill, EH21 7RH, Musselburgh.
Sea hugs & Gratitude, Joanna
P.S. I will be closing my online shop on the weekend
