Liisa Clark - Art Original artwork inspired by nature, folklore, and memento mori.

The swarm is growing. 🪲

After a couple of weeks focused on events, admin and preparing surfaces, I've finally been back where I belong... painting.

These are all underpaintings waiting for their next layers. Beetles, spiders, moths and other overlooked creatures that have slowly been gathering on my studio table. (I know I have been promising them for ages!)

I often work on several pieces at once, moving between them as paint dries and ideas emerge.
They're only at the beginning of their journey, but seeing them all together reminds me of one of the questions that sits at the heart of my work:

What happens if we look more closely?

Today's painting session didn't quite go to plan...

I was all set to start a stag beetle on a piece of Welsh slate. I put the slate on my easel, added a tiny blob of Blu Tack to hold it in place and...

CRACK.

The slate promptly split in two.
Fortunately I'd only sketched the beetle on, so out came the eraser and the beetle was rescued before any paint was harmed in the making of this artwork.
Rather than admit defeat, I spent the afternoon preparing more slate so I can paint whenever inspiration strikes.

Which mostly involved enthusiastically hitting Welsh slate with hammers.

The hammer has now been named Andy.
Andy Dufresne, of course.
Because every artist needs a rock hammer. 🪨🔨

So today's studio progress involved less painting and considerably more controlled destruction.
Not the day I planned.
Possibly the day I needed.

This weekend was the MK Handmade and Vintage and it was amazing. Ive spent today relaxing (Mostly watching all the Kylie Documentaries on Netflix).

Firstly a huge thankyou to Jen and her amazing team for putting together such an awesome event and looking after all of us Traders so well.

Secondly I'd like to thank some amazing Traders for the absolute joy of their company, laughter, giggles and wonderful sense of humour.

Thirdly I want to thank my fantastic Other Half Chris and Son Bodhi , without whom I wouldn't be able to do these events. They are my luggers and lifters who help with the loading and unloading at each event whilst holding down the fort whilst I am away from home. I love you and you are Brilliant.

And lastly, I want to thank Each and Every One of you who came to my Stall. I love catching up with all of you regular Visitors, and Collectors of my work, I love all of the deep, wierd, random and meaningful conversations I have with all of you.
Thankyou to each of you who bought one of my creations and took it home with you, I couldn't keep doing what I love if it wasn't for you. It always humbles me that people love my work enough to buy it.

So all in all it was an amazing weekend, so thankyou, to you all.
