I've added them to the artist support pledge paintings. See the original post which explains all about the ethos behind it. They are not on my website at the moment so, if you are interested in either, or both, please email me at marion.hedger@artbymarion.co.uk

#ArtistSupportPledge

Artist Support Pledge

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic many artists have found themselves without work teaching, technical support, gallery work, exhibitions and sales have disappeared. In an attempt to help alleviate some of this stress I have joined the ARTIST SUPPORT PLEDGE #artistsupportpledge on Instagram started by Matthew Burrows - @matthewburrowsstudio and pay it forward.

I reduced the price of some artwork and included them in the #artistsupportpledge on my website. Those shown here have not yet been uploaded but are selling for 85€ (£75 each) normal retail 120€ so leave a comment or email me if interested. 20x20cm mixed media on paper.


The concept is a simple one. I will post images of my work I am willing to sell for no more than 200 euro each (not including shipping.) Every time I reach 1 000€ of sales I pledge to buy another artists work for up to 200€. I am also including my other artworks as well i.e. 20% of sales will go to purchasing another artist's work.

Expanding From Three to Four

A very bad photo of 'Freedom has no Boundaries' Triptych taken at the Toulouse Art3f artfair last weekend. Next week it will be traveling to the Surrey Contemporary Art Fair, but it may have grown to four paintings, see image below. It is definitely a statement piece (pieces?) so it will have a wall all to itself.

The fourth panel in progress.

I ordered 4 of these canvasses and although there is only one week between arriving back and leaving again, I couldn't resist using the spare canvas. This is how it is progressing. Just covered in heavy gel medium which is milky but will clear when dry and provide a basw for the next layers.

Does anyone know what a set of 4 paintings is called? quadtych doesn't sound quite right!

Each panel is 40x120cm.

The Great Thing About Abstract Art...

"The great thing about abstract art is that 

it doesn't need to mean something to 

everyone. You can appreciate it simply 

for its beauty, or you can find a hidden 

meaning that's special and unique to 

your life." 

Emily. Artfinder's Senior Content Manager 

I loved this quote in an email from Artfinder this morning.

It is so true. I can't count the number of times I have heard
 'I don't understand abstract art, but I like this'.
We all need to be bolder and go with out instincts.

ORANGE is...

I always new there was an orange person inside me waiting to get out! Perhaps this explains why there is usually some orange in every painting and this makes me feel good about using it.

Current Motifs...

Current works in progress 

One of the prompts in  #21daysinmyartworld by Tara Leaver on Instagram, was 'Current Motifs'.

Leading the viewers eye around and artwork is one of the most important things to rememer when painting. It can be done by using line, contrast or colour, or a combination of all of them.

My immediate reaction to this prompt, was that I didn't really have any 'motifs' as such, but on looking at my current works in progress I can see  small blocks of colour are emerging.

I am using them to add interest and take you on a journey through and around the painting. Perhaps they are stepping stones in my explorations, perhaps just visual interest. I particularly like this motif when they themselves have lines around that don't quite match the outline of the block as in this painting:
