Dropped of these painting’s at the very lovely www.greengallery.com yesterday. Becky always has such a fabulous range of art, ceramics, textiles and prints. The new exhibition opens this
Sunday……


I’ve just spent a few glorious days in Arran, recharging the batteries!
Visited the lovely http://www.arranartgallery.com/gallery where there is a fantastic and diverse range of work from Scotland with an Arran theme. And they had some of my cards in stock….nice 🙂
Back over in the central belt the Line gallery, Linlithgow sold this painting over the weekend…happy days!

‘Night Gathering’ by Edinburgh artist Nikki Monaghan
I really enjoy working on commissions. They take me out of my comfort zone a little as far as colour and subject matter are concerned……which is great as i learn from the experience. It is also of course lovely getting feedback and knowing that my paintings really resonate with someone.
Here’s a few i’ve done lately…..






Very pleased with the framing…always finishes a painting off nicely! They are painted in yummy Farrow and Ball…..and will be heading off to the www.greengallery.com next week!


‘Blossom Stroll’ which sold at the www.thelineonline.co.uk over the weekend. I’ve been exhibiting with the Line Gallery in Linlithgow for a number of years now and I’m delighted to be showing my work alongside Siljes Elisabet Thorin.

…only 52 days away!!…yikes!
I’m planning on having a mixture of large and smaller works, along with prints, cushions, cards etc.
There will also be bargins to be had…… 🙂
It’s always been an enjoyable experience, meeting the public, chatting about my artwork…although a tad stressful leading up to the event. Apart from all the artwork to organise my house has to be unusually spick and span..all Peppa Pig toys, footballs, dolls and empty wine bottles will be removed!
Starting to frame up these paintings for an exhibition at the Green Gallery, Bucklyvie
