It's from 2010 and is a 140x120cm  oil on canvas. Absolutely fantastic, just click through to visit Andy's site to see more of his amazing work. I love the 'interference' on his paintings, which reminds me of old paused VHS tapes. Beautiful.

Cluckadoodle Doo by Jane Ormes

A little orange Gocco print rooster with added origami detail by Bristol based Jane Ormes. Here's what Jane says about her work, "I am a designer and printmaker living and working in Bristol. I am part of a co-operative called Fig, a lovely shop I share with 5 other craftspeople and makers, which is situated on our lovely local high street, the Gloucester Rd. I am a screenprinter primarily, but discovered the fantastic and clever little machine called the gocco last year. It's very smart and portable and acts as an exposure unit and printing bed all-in-one. It makes printmaking very uncomplicated!"

Kilburn Pegasus by Alison Deegan

I love Alison Deegan's lino cuts (I'm the proud owner of 4, I think, at last count!) and her work just keeps getting better. I think that this new print, 'Kilburn Pegasus', is absolutely beautiful. I had many a trip to see the Kilburn White Horse and watch the gliders taking off at Sutton Bank when I was a lad and it's a beautiful part of Yorkshire. This fantastic inky blue colour print is a limited edition of just 45. Printed from a hand-cut lino "plate" in oil-based but water washable inks onto good quality printing paper. The printed area is approximately 20cm in diameter, the paper measures approximately 26x26cm. Here's what Alison says about this piece: "I love the juxtaposition of the Yorkshire Gliding Club and the Kilburn White Horse in this little bit of the North York Moors and I couldn't resist sneaking the Pegasus constellation into the night sky."

That Morning by Jason De Graaf

I'm a huge fan of super-realism art and marvel the talent of artists who can paint this way. So after spending an hour staring at Jason De Graaf's website, I've finally decided to feature this painting, though in fairness it was a tough choice, as I love them all. Incredible talent. This piece is called 'That Morning' and is acrylic on wood. 24" x 18". Here's what Jason says about his work: "My paintings are about staging an alternate reality, the illusion of verisimilitude on the painted surface, filtered so that it expresses my unique vision. Though my paintings may appear photoreal my goal is not to reproduce or document faithfully what I see one hundred percent, but also to create the illusion of depth and sense of presence not found in photographs. Many of my paintings are about the relationship of light with reflective and transparent surfaces and my journey to understand those qualities and convey my sense of wonder and intrigue over them. In all of my paintings the subject matter is a springboard and a means to explore my ability to communicate something unique to the viewer. I use colours and composition intuitively with the intent of imbuing my paintings with emotion, mood and mystery. Throughout, I try to remain open to new ideas as the painting unfolds."

Spun Cotton Horned Owl by Vintage by Crystal

This spun cotton owl is whimsical, cute and quirky. She was hand spun using techniques similar to those of the early German artisans who created cotton ornaments for Christmas. She is about 3" tall and has a spun cotton body and cotton batting wings. She was hand painted and stands easily on any flat surface. You can even bend her feet to make her perch or she has a small hook on her head for hanging. She'll behave herself and won't "whoo" too much!

Bring some beautiful color to your days! This Waldorf-inspired window star will brighten your windows. If you place your star in a sunny window, the special translucent paper has a pretty stained glass glowing effect. The stars are made by hand-folding small squares of paper, overlaying the folded paper, and then gluing together to create different patterns. Each point is folded multiple times to create a pattern within the point.
