I love these animations

I’ve started a Facebook page for my paintings here http://www.facebook.com/pages/Denise-Laurent/152001500099. I’ll update it with new work and people can become fans by clicking a button. It looks like fun.

Lois and I had a wonderful time at Open Studios again this year. We met some wonderful people and animals. Here are a few photos of the event at the studio in Lingfield.

I’ll be sharing a studio with Lois Sykes again this year for Open Studios. The studio and gallery will open to the public Wednesday the 10th June from 12-4pm, Saturday and Sunday 13th-14th June from 11am-6pm, Wednesday the 17th June from 12-4pm and Saturday and Sunday the 20th-21st June 11am-6pm, other times by appointment.

I’ll be there on the Wednesdays and Saturdays but not Sundays because of problems with trains on Sundays. But Lois will be there on Sundays.

The studio is situated in a lovely part of Surrey on the Kent and Sussex border, a short walk from Dormans station. For directions and additional information please see the Open Studio Online guide for 2009 or look at the web site www.seos-art.org.

You can see photos from last years event here.

A small painting on paper. This is about 11 x 8 inches, mixed media on watercolour paper. These three look so comfy don’t they?

I have three new prints, a new German Shepherd print Max Sleeping

A new Golden Retriever print Life’s A Beach

and a new Bullmastiff print Beau

All of them can be found in the Gallery.

This is Ch. Bastion’s Buns of Steel BIS BISS, known as Bunny to her friends. Isn’t she a beauty? I painted her mother Pumpkin before Christmas too. Lynn you have beautiful dogs!

A close up of the canvas.

This is a 16×12 oil on canvas.

This is one of the Christmas commissions. Meet Pumpkin. Any regular visitor to this site knows how much I love painting Bullmastiff’s and Pumpkin was no exception. She’s so cute and such a beautiful colour too. I loved painting her.
