Glasgow Art Show
23rd - 25th March 2012
The Grand Ballroom, Thistle Glasgow, Cambridge Street, Glasgow, G2 3HN
 
Glasgow proved to be a successful art evnt of the calendar and hopefully the first of many. Claire Baxter Fine Art within ArtsBank did well, selling six of the Umbrella collection. In fact, I cannot keep up with demand at the moment. I am trying my hardest to complete more for the summer exhibitions. There are 16 working titles to go on but at 3 months pregnant I'm slowing down a little already.
 

 
New Collections underway....
 
I am currently producing more than ever. I have nearly completed my 2012 collection.... 'Life's a Beach' which will be published this spring.
Some of these works will be previewed at the Summer Grande Fair in Ripley (June 14th - 17th (stand 114)).
Work will also be on exhibition at the RHS Harlow Carr Summer Exhibition.
 
Here's to an exciting summer of 2012!

Welcome.....
  

 

I really hope you enjoy my work. It is aimed at those people who can laugh at themselves, those who can recognise themselves in the paintings, or someone else close to home. I hope that you appreciate this honesty and fun side to my work. Art is extremely personal and it has to speak to us in one way or another. I hope it speaks to you.

 
So far, the Umbrella Daze Collection has proven to be very popular. This is a series of vibrant paintings featuring jolly characters with umbrellas. Each 20" x 8" painting is in oil on stretched Canvas and only £120 each. They are available to buy here, on the website and will be featuring at 'Art in the Garden' in Valley Gardens over summer and at the Ripley Grande Summer Sale in June.
 
'A Night's Tale' is a collection of 19 paintings and growing. The emphasis has shifted more towards the characters and their 'situations'. I love to paint what I can relate to, and although contrary to common belief, I have not had to push a car in heels or been caught with my skirt blown up, I have spotted so many similar situations whilst out and about. The backdrops for the collection are set in and around the Harrogate area, however, the paintings merely resemble thousands of our towns up and down the country. I have thoroughly enjoyed painting this collection and have often chuckled to myself as I have conjured up what each character could be doing, even naming and profiling them in my head.
 

 

Many pictures are available as originals and most are available in print and greeting card format.

I sincerley hope you enjoy looking around the site and please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions about my products, the paintings themselves, future exhibitions or painting commissions.

 

 
Best wishes,
Claire x
