Hi!

If you have stumbled upon this blog, I just wanted to let you know that I have set up a Google group 'Paws In The Paint' as an announcement newsletter (therefore low volume) for posting new artwork that I have completed, new original artwork that is for sale or being reproduced as prints or gift merchandise. I will also be announcing special offers on this group that are only available to group members, and offering animal and art for sale here first so make sure you stick around!

Important Update: MichelleWrighton.com

2008-07-11T22:13:00.003+08:00

Time management is essential for artists, especially when they work from home studios. In order to maximize my time spent painting, I am in the process of consolidating my different websites and blogs into just the one on my main site http://michellewrighton.com
which has been re-designed, had new work and a blog added.

Therefore http://canine-artist.com will re-direct to my main website and as I am running a blog from that site, I won't continue to maintain this blog.

Please update your links and rss feeds to my new online gallery and blog:

Ok, if I am going to cheat and post an image of artwork I did in 2006, the least I can do is give you two for the price of one!

Graphite artwork is almost impossible to photograph without getting funny reflection like appears on the left hand side.

A change of purpose

2007-08-20T19:43:00.000+08:00

Yes dear readers, I know I have suddenly posted a number of images of my artwork here after previously stating that I was no longer posting here because I was moving to my Main Blog ...well, I have done that and will continue using my main blog for all the informative posts, work in progress and art demonstration blog posts but....

This blog continues to receive a fair bit of traffic and I have just found out that I can re-direct my images from Flickr over to here, (and as I personally I hate coming across blogs that are not updated regularly) so I have decided that rather than leave this blog idle, I will send some of my finished artwork images over hear from my Flickr account. Finished artwork might end up being posted here before I get to post it on my main blog, you never know!

I just don't have the time to write posts here (and don't see the point of duplicating posts from my main blog) but if you are interested in reading about the inspiration or stories behind my artwork, or information about the animals that I portray, or if you like watching artwork come to life in work-in-progress and art demonstration posts, then please visit my main blog on my website PetArtist.com.au Blog

Thanks!

My new Art blog

2006-03-21T20:36:00.000+08:00

Yesterday I started a separate blog for my 'other' art which is considerably different than the pet portraits that I do. The majority of my other artwork is created in the small format (under 14" in any one direction), and a lot of it is experimenting with different techniques and styles other than realism. In the last two weeks my Muse has taken me off in a completely different direction and I havn't yet started any of the animal breeds series that I have planned.

I'm hoping that maintaining two blogs won't take too much time and I have contemplated moving this blog over to my website but will wait and see what happens in the next few weeks...or months as the case may be:)

If you would like to exchange links with my new blog please let me know. There is very little new artwork over there just now but I will be adding more throughout this week.

I've also started listing some ACEO's and artwork at Art By Us and Art Cards Wanted (see my links on the right), Ebay just seems to be having one problem after another with the search facility and category listings and it is costing too much in fees to be listing there at the moment when the majority of the time items arn't even showing up in searches.

Cheers

Michelle
