Emma Hill

A painting for the Affordable art fair Battersea in October. Here is the before and after images, which make me laugh. I really like Dan Baldwin's work, he uses skulls and after noticing skulls in wall paper - Meg Mathews and scarves- Alexander McQueen I thought I could do them too. Unfortunately not! The drips even look a mess. After comments of , 'That has got to be the worst picture you have done,' and 'Is that for Halloween?' I think I need to stick with the bright quirky and fun! I kept the spray paint in.

Emma Hill, Itchycoo Love, Bird Dance: 30"x30"

I am continuing to develop my style, which still has the dots, (which I somehow don't seem to escape from) The abstract has been left behind for something more illustrative, naive and fun . I have found a quirky girl with a red dress who visits Itchycoo Park, where she visits an imaginary world of whimsy, colour and make believe. There is something for everyone, in a place beyond Alice's Wonderland.

At the moment the pictures are random snapshots of magical places and animal friends. One day I hope there will be a story that will link them together.

I am very pleased that they (she) proved popular on the New British Artists stand at The Affordable Art Fair in Battersea. Almost selling out, I have now just completed a new set of 9 that will be going to The Brussels Affordable Art Fair, also with New British Artists.

This is my first quirky girl in red.

Emma Hill, Sometimes it Snows in April, 40"x30"

This is my favourite painting that I have done to date. Hopefully not for long as I have been asked to do another two similar.

So a bit what has happened with my art in the year in between then and now?

Itchycoo Park.
