Scott has the Lot!

Hello Strangers! Sorry about a recent lack of posting. I'm back now and back for good! Have some very exciting artists to tell you about over the next few weeks. I stumbled across an astonishingly talented teenage artist last week and managed to buy a few of his works. He's going to be worth millions in a few years time... but more on him in a few months!

Anyway, Julie Ann Scott is a wonderful artist who works in the beautiful Kendal in the Lake District. Before this she honed her artistic talents at school in Lancashire, worked as a catwalk model in Israel and was an actress touring in the United States. She has exhibited her work, literally, all over the UK & Ireland - from Devon to Derbyshire to Dublin.

The secret to her success may be that her work isn't the type that you have to "get". It's the type of work that hits you across the head like a frying pan. Many are overwhelmed by some of her pieces.

Above is a piece called "Complete". It's lovely. You can imagine the sweetness and joy of invisible little fairies and sprites flying around the exquisitely coloured tree. But you can also imagine all the pain and anger that is tied up within the knotted branches. It's such a bursting and vibrant work of art - it's simply delectable. Below is "Expect a Miracle". Just look and soak it all in...

Comfort Art

In the current economic climate, it is unlikely that trading volume of fine art will decrease, or increase, dramatically. However, in times like these it is very likely that "comfort art" (as I like to call it) sales will sky rocket.

I hate the word "cheap" because of the awful negative connotations but this art often is exceptionally good value. My rule for good value comfort art, therefore, is buy what you like and buy what you can afford.

Since moving online, I have stumbled across one art website time and time again. It's called Etsy. I'm sure most of you readers are very familiar with Etsy but for those who aren't it's basically a lovely website where craftspeople can sell their handmade goods. Etsy, in other words, is comfort art heaven. The especially brilliant thing about Etsy is that you can get original comfort art for often less than cheap prints!
