Hello!!! I hope you are doing well on this glorious December day!!
I have been chilling and planning everything that I need to do next week which will include creating a new art tutorial aimed specifically at people who want to start arting for the first time! Stay tuned for more information!!
On Friday I went ice skating for the very first time! It was at Somerset House in London with Dj's and even a steel band!!
However I don't think my body will every recover from the experience lol, lets say that I managed to 'Skate' by holding onto the rail and pulling myself along for the whole 1 hrs session... ummm I think I need more practice.
Anyhow..
Art For Your Screens is a new way of collecting, displaying and sharing artwork, this digital file can be used as a screensaver and wallpaper on your mobile phone.
The Tree of Life image shows how the needs of a tree are very similar to the needs of a person and show how self care is an important factor in our every day.

Lazy Sunday - Self Portrait
December 2019
I've been enjoying a lazy Sunday lie in whilst deciding whether or not I should visit Greenwich Market in London, it's cold out there!
I grew up in Greenwich and always enjoyed visiting the arts, crafts and antiques market on a Sunday, it became a ritual amongst my friends to meet there for Sunday lunch and take a walk in the park, happy days!
I still have some pieces of art and antiques that I collected at that time!
Last night I continued working on my self portrait, it's almost finished now..

New Greetings Card!! - Tree of Life month
December 2019
Hello everyone!! I hope you are doing good on this December day? Maybe you are gently sliding into seasonal events and planning for the last month of the decade!!
Wow! we have come so far in 10 years.. I actually started this blog in 2010 and my first post was about my fascination with infrared photography, you can view it here
http://phloem.co.uk/2010/12/28/infrared-videography/
I will be once again taking up infrared imagery in 2020 as part of a dreamy landscapes project that will hopefully become a calendar, so watch this space!!
Anyhoo as we celebrate the end of a decade and welcome in a new calendar year I want to introduce you to December as 'Tree of Life' month and release my 'Tree of Life' painting in various different formats for the first time.
When I painted it I wanted to explore how the needs of a tree are very similar to the needs of a person. I placed those needs around the tree like the earth in which its roots could grow.
I think its quite fitting as we go into the new decade and into new versions of ourselves, to capture a reminder of how we can be both strong and delicate at the same time, and that all our aspects need to be nurtured in order for us to grow.
This first offering comes in the form of a 'Tree of Life' greetings card.
Please click to link below for more details and delivery options.
https://society6.com/product/tree-of-life2218276_cards?
I welcome you all to join me in celebrating 'Tree of Life' month too, maybe you will paint a tree of your own?
If you are new to arting I will be making some new tutorials specifically for you to step into this wonderful life of art and creating.
Its easier than you think!!

Happy Saturday! Gift Boxes!
October 2019
Hello! I hope you are all enjoying your Saturday and welcoming those cosy autumnal days? It can be the best time of the year, a time of change..
Today I would like to share with you some of my paper designs that are in fact gift boxes! I began creating these when I got my Silhouette Cameo paper cutter which I love dearly.
It inspired me to design paper cutting templates and fuelled a desire to start collecting paper.. I now have shelves and boxes full of exquisite patterned paper and high quality crafting papers.
I create the templates in Adobe Illustrator and the Silhouette Studio Designer software, these are then exported as vector SVG files which can be downloaded by other paper crafters who cut them on their personal machines.
They can be filled with goodies and used as display pieces, I hope you enjoy them :)

I've been sharing bits of my work over on Instagram as part of 'Social October'

Including this video, which was commissioned by the legendary jazz saxophonist Courtney Pine and features his band member, violinist Omar Puente.
I filmed, directed and edited the video whilst the band were performing in London.

New Whimsical Horse Painting
October 2019
I've just finished creating this delightful whimsical horse in watercolours, I layered the transparent layers of paint to make a dreamy floaty background then sketched a very whimsical floaty horse, I used opaque gouache for the highlights and watercolour pencils for the details.
The caption 'Be Free' was added in a mixture of gouache and watercolour and was inspired by the carefree and playful pose of the horse.
I think of it as a reminder to be playful in real life, as this can be very freeing, make time for play! :)

New horse sketch..
October 2019
Helloooo! Happy Saturday!
I've literally just finished sketching this horses head in charcoal, it's the first time I used charcoal and it's so lush.
The background was made from layers of gold, yellow and brown paint.
I need to make another of these in black paint as that was the original idea, but will keep this one too.
The horse is sketched from one of the Elgin Marbles at the British Museum.

I painted her with what some might say are 'thicc' thighs as an expression and statement of body positivity and acceptance.
I can imagine that growing up many women with large thighs may have been called 'thunder thighs' or 'Chaka Khan thighs' but today we can all celebrate the gift of the large thighs that we have been given, just because... :)

Hello everyone! its August hurrah! I hope you will be taking a well earned holiday this month whilst the sun is shining and the beach is calling!
This month's 'Art For Your Screens' features the Nubian/Egyptian goddess Mehyt, she is named as such because she was the consort of Onuris, a hunter god who tracks down Mehyt in Nubia and brings her to Egypt as his wife.

Art For Your Screens is a new way of owning and displaying art on your digital devices such as a computer display or digital TV.
The artwork can be used as a screensaver or wallpaper and is a fantastic way to have artwork displayed in your office or home.

New Painting * Love in a time of Ebola - Acrylic on Canvas
July 2019
Hello!!! Long time! I hope everyone is well?
Things have been a bit quiet here but lots has been happening behind the scenes most of which have been documented on my instagram here
https://www.instagram.com/joanneseale
But I will try to start a new weekly news roundup for my blog and website. Watch this space!!
So this new painting sort of evolved from an abstract art exercise that developed into a painting about current affairs.
It is called 'Love in a time of Ebola' and features acrylic on canvas.. Yes I am now working regularly on canvas!!
The painting sort of just appeared but it started with the eyes.
I don't know where the Ebola reference came from but it was probably something that I had been reading and thinking about.
The 2 figures sort of look like either space travellers or androids and that meant something to me too.
But art is really about what you see in an image.
This painting is about affection, needs, love, distance, restriction, health, humanity etc etc.

New Quotes Lady* You Are Enough - Acrylic Ink and Paint on Paper
June 2019
Hello everyone! I hope you are well?
Yesterday I finished another quotes lady!! Whoo! In this painting I wanted to express how often we can look outside ourselves for validation and assurance that everything is ok.
But I think it is true to say that resting in ones self and being true to yourself can offer the best sense of wholeness and security possible.
It can take a lot of work to get to that stage, a lot of people refer to this as 'The Work' but I think it is a journey we all need to go on for a more fulfilling life.

Assembling my London 'Skyline Boxes' paper cutting template
June 2019

New Painting * Elephant Hawk Moth - Acrylic on Canvas
June 2019
I love painting moths! It has been a while since I've made a nature painting so I decided to paint a Elephant Hawk-Moth!
The colours are delicious, like strawberry and lemon sorbet, it's form is so sublime and aerodynamic that I decided to accentuate the lines to create an almost arrow-like shape.
It makes me wonder how many millions of years it took for nature to create something of such perfection. Can you imagine if you or I were given that task??
This will be the first canvas that I am putting up for sale, I am learning to let go of my paintings and offer them to new homes :)

New Painting - The Cracks - Acrylic on paper
June 2019
Hello everyone! I hope you are well.
I've been managing to work on quite a few new paintings and paper projects recently, its so nice to be in the flow of creating again, it took quite a lot of effort to get back on track but hopefully it will be a smooth and interesting ride from here on in.
This painting was inspired by a Life Book 2018 lesson, I love the texture in the painting the curved forms and earth tones. I can't say i've ever made a painting like this before but would like to make more!

New Painting - Girl on Lion
April 2019
I managed to finish my ‘Girl Riding a Lion’ painting! This took for ever
due to lack of time and the fact that it’s quite a new style of art for
me.
I tried to paint it in the style of a children’s book illustration and it was a really enjoyable process.

New Painting - Boy Riding a Giraffe
Hello! I recently finished another painting! I tried to paint this boy
on a giraffe in an illustrative style more suited to a children’s book.
It took a lot longer than I thought but I am very happy with the result and hope to make more in the future.

Mixed Media Painting - Temple of Light
I recently finished this painting that was inspired by a Life Book lesson by Effy Wild! Although it looks nothing like the actual lesson…I wanted to show how we all have an inner light that can either be hidden, or we can let it shine brightly, enhancing and illuminating our daily lives whilst also shining on the lives of others.
Sometimes this can be scary as we can be afraid of opening our true selves to the world for fear of disapproval, however one of my teachers, the amazing Lisa Nichols put it so perfectly when she said,
‘When your light shines too brightly for some people, just hand them a pair of sunglasses” I love that sooo much. :)

Hello everyone! I am back with a new painting and watch me paint video.
This painting was inspired by a pair of golden hands ornaments that I found in a New Age gift shop in the lovely coastal town of Folkestone.
I wanted to make a lady in the style of my Ejina character with colourful Afro hair, in the video I talk about why it is called 'I am Whole'.
I hope you enjoy it!!

New Painting - Sweet Girl and Cat
I managed to finish another sweet girl and cat painting, I am much happier with this one as I feel I gave it my full attention whilst taking it very slowly, enjoying the process of painting and figuring out how I wanted her to look etc.
She came out a bit lighter in skin tone than I expected, I think ‘High Yella’ is the term used in the USA :D
My next painting will feature a girl wth much darker skin and possibly plaits.

New Painting - Woman's back with angel wings
I wanted to try to paint wispy angels wings for this painting of a woman's back which was inspired by the Donna Downey lesson for Lifebook 2015.
I practiced painting the wings in white translucent and opaque paints until I was happy with the technique, the painting of the back was made with water soluble crayon and tranparent white paint.
