It's been a long time since my last post . I have been very busy painting and drawing. A new range of home ware products are about to be launched with some of my new designs on,whoa hoo!! In the meantime I thought I would post a painting I did at the end of last year. I am now selling my paintings at <span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); font-family: '.HelveticaNeueUI'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px; white-space: nowrap;">http://www.artgallery.co.uk/artist/judith_keen_2 please take a look. </span>Jude Keenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05791616530645568578noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678544284301032340.post-78830542828502771012012-05-20T02:13:00.000-07:002012-05-20T02:15:35.730-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have spent the last few weeks thinking of a subject for the painting I wanted to submit to the Threadneedle Prize I have toyed with a couple of ideas and committed them to canvas only to be disappointed with the results before I have even finished them, so with only a couple of weeks remaining before the registration closed, I decided to go with an old idea taken from a photo snapped on holiday last year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know that my technique is not particularly fashionable and it may not be what the judges are looking for for entry into the exhibition but I love painting people in a less conventional pose and I am happy with this painting so I am submitting this.</span></div>

Last Saturday night my husband's band, Resolution played a gig at a local pub. They were amazing and rocked the pub all night.

'A chip of the old block......'<br />
<br />
It has been ages since I have posted anything, although that does not mean that I have not been busy. I have recently painted this study of my daughter . Unfortunately due to the size of the piece I had to photograph it to get it onto the blog and the image has suffered a little.<br />
<br />
I have been painting larger images recently which I am finding to be very liberating and I am toying with the idea of entering something into the The Threadneedle Prize which is specifically for figurative work, wish me luck as competition is fierce.Jude Keenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05791616530645568578noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678544284301032340.post-50643134713619106562012-02-19T12:12:00.003-08:002012-02-19T12:12:39.519-08:00Flamenco - Please give me your thoughts.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have dug out a sketch I did a little while ago and did nothing with , I am not sure at the moment whether to leave it as a sketch or whether it would be worthwhile to do a piece of work based around it. If anyone has any thoughts please let me know I would appreciate your comments.</span><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I find it amazing that not only can people around the corner view my posts but so can people across the other side of the globe, it's incredible! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am not a tehno-phobe but I have taken a while to grasp the concept of blogging and tweeting, I have remained in my comfort zone and have largely ignored the virtual world of the internet unless I have wanted to shop. I have dabbled with Facebook a little but I have never truly got to grips with it, to be honest I am lazy when it comes to keeping in touch.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, releasing my first post yesterday I found oddly liberating. I think I have found an internet medium that suits me. I can write my blog and display my work whilst maintaining as much anonymity as I like. I don't have to tell you all what I had for tea or what I am doing at any given moment. i can simply write when I feel like writing or post a piece of work when I feel like posting a piece of work without you having to know my inside leg measurement. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will be posting more work on this blog in the future.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would love to get any feedback and will be linking this blog to a website in the near future.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'Fish' was inspired by a bowl of gold fish , surprise ,surprise! The distorted view of the pebbles is deliberate to push the fish towards the viewer and make the them appear as if they are on the outside of a globe shaped object instead of inside.</span><br />
