Lockdown Lil and other stories

 
Virtual Open Studio
'Lockdown Lil' and other stories!
Well this is strange isn't it! We seem to have found ourselves in a crazy parallel universe. In fact we're all now inhabiting our own little universes in the form of our own four walls, we can imagine them however we want to! So, my little universe is going to be like a fifties B movie! Lockdown Lil is somewhere between Bettie Page and Katharine Hepburn, always getting into scrapes, probably drinking too much and absolutely always looking fabulous! And the villain, well it may have fallen from space or clawed its way out of a pit, it's invisible, it's terrifying and all Lil can do is to try to make it through this without losing her clothes!

And what has this to do with art I hear you say? Even the hard drinking Lil wants her pad to look just swell. When she lays back on her chaise longue she wants something lovely to look at, wouldn't you?

Our first Saturdays open studios are postponed, galleries we have work with are shut, so may I invite you to our Virtual open studio! Click on the doors or here and go inside, click on the paintings for a closer view. Don't be shy, no ones watching! I think Nick has done a cracking job of building our virtual studio, what do you think?

We are donating 40% of sales made in our online open studio to trusselltrust, a Salisbury based charity that supports a network of food banks throughout the UK providing emergency food and support to people in crisis.

Seems a lifetime ago now, but our exhibition at Shafterbury Arts Centre was a huge success. We were so lucky with the timing. Our book 'The Winter Visitor' was really well received and can still be brought here Thank you so much to everyone who visited us.
