The Deep Blue Ocean tryptic
The 3 Sea Sprays named the Deep Blue Ocean and my take on the beautiful powerful sea. Created by painting many layers of inks between layers of a non-toxic type resin on beechwood.
I’ve entered these into the Crickhowell Oriel Gallery Art Competition – not sure if they will be accepted yet but if they are they’ll be on view and for sale late May through to June in the Gallery.
Each Sea Spray is 25cm x 20cm – Hope you likex
Scarves here we come
One of 5 scarves I’ve had printed from my original paintings – this one is Oriental II and 140cm, slightly transparent and would look terrific as a sarong or wrapped around you as a creative top or draped around your neck or even as a head scalf.
Available now so please email me@sallymills.gallery or will be up on the ‘shop’ section soon.
Wild Irises – along the river bank
The three Irises are part of my new exploration of what lies and lives along the waterways. It’s my abstract take on the dark tangle of reeds and grasses and then the beautiful iris popping their heads up, having a look around whilst in the comfort of the bank – there’s a slight breeze and it’s a bit chilly but it’s a clear sky and there’s lots going on along the river bank and it’s a good day 😉
We’re back in Wales and found a great art gallery – Oriel CRiC Gallery
It’s been awhile since I posted anything on the site as been busy with moving back to Wales. Our lovely Dad passed away last year and although Bob and I travelled back and forth alot to UK from Australia, we decided to move back permanently to be closer to family. So now we’re in Monmouthshire, South Wales and I’m starting to paint again and found a lovely gallery in Crickhowell – The Oriel CRiC Gallery.
I’ve got a few limited edition prints there and actually just sold two of my wave prints, Amongst The Waves being one of them – happy days.
I’m working on a number of original paintings at the moment and hope to show them at the Gallery in the coming months as well as venturing further afield to check out coastal and city galleries. We’re also working on opening our online shop – thanks to Mark Pottie 🙂 and Bob of course 🙂 Should be up and running by 1st March!
From Amongst the Waves limited edition prints for sale
Amongst the Waves is a collection of paintings that are from being in and amongst the sea – well my abstract take on it anyway! This was painted on 640gms watercolour paper and I’m about to do a limited edition of prints as love the colours and as a print you can have small or a big one or an inbetweeny one, whatever suits! The original was painted with inks using many crazy techniques from throwing, pouring, flicking and blowing. I can print out on canvas or high quality cotton rag paper.
If you’re interested let me know – cheers Sally
Wild Roses for Wendy, a surprise birthday present
Really enjoyed painting this – watercolour on 640gsm 21cms x 56cms. Adam commissioned the painting as a surprise birthday present for Wendy – we used to work together many years ago at the Regent Palace Hotel, London. Wendy is really feminine, a lovely lady, loves pinks and greens, so I thought an abstract take on wild roses might be the way to go 🙂
Painting has been delivered and Wendy loves it and Adam is really pleased – happy days x
Sea Waves crashing in
The lovely Ian & Belinda bought ‘Sea Waves crashing in’ from the Sea Spray collection of paintings at our recent Arty Party Exhibition in Sydney, Australia.
Created by painting with acrylic inks and pouring medium on a wooden panel 30cms x 30cms
Beachtime has a new home in the UK
Yay for Beachtime and thanks Phil for commissioning this hand embellished limited edition print for Em’s surprise birthday present. Hope you enjoy
Into the Light for John Butterworth
Loved painting Into the Light and very pleased that it has a new home in Sydney, Australia – thank you Claudia Sagripanti and John Butterworth. Into the Light is painted on 640gsm watercolour paper with inks and the light part I’ve used some iridescent inks so it kind of sparkles and shimmers when the light catches it!
Here it Comes sold at auction in support of research to cure cancer
Very pleased that ‘Here it Comes’ a painting from ‘Amongst the Waves’ collection of art was sold at auction at a function on 8th April – part of the Cure de Tour that cycles and holds fundraising events to support research in helping to find a cure for cancer. Really chuffed that it sold for $2,000.
Here is Comes is painted with a range of inks on 640gsm watercolour paper and is my abstract take on the tip of a wave as it starts to gain strength on it’s journey to shore. It was framed in a floating white frame and looks very contemporary.
