Hi ~ I'm new to blogging so will probably take a while to get the hang of it all. Art by Darcy is my blog spot for my art gallery - which I'm passionate about. So much happens in a day that I'd like to share with everyone, the wonderful Art, Crafts but especially the people I meet both Artists and Art Lovers.
We're hosting a show by Gail de Jong, Ruth Elliott and Anne Bosset ~ Paintings, Ceramics, Textiles and Jewellery - an electic mix if ever there was! Gail's paintings and ceramics feature lovely large ladies in exquisite corsets and red shoes - we think they are probably self portraits! Ruth collects antique fabrics, vintage beads and beachcombs for glass to create her unusal jewellery - Art to wear! Her paintings are created using a variety of mediums, printing, collage, painting, sewing - I keep looking to see if there's anything I've missed!! Ruth has used beautiful imagery and scenes from the area of Tuscany that she lives in - these works of art really deserve a closer look.
Anne Bosset contacted me earlier this year hoping to meet up - luckily she was able to combine a trip to see me with a family wedding. Anne has been living in France for the last eleven years painting full time. We've got watercolours of the Brecon Beacons, oils on canvas of French Poppies, interesting abstract mountain landscapes and detailed watercolour still lifes of delicate china - sounds a bit of a mixture - Well it is; and it all works together in a most harmonious way!!
I'm looking forward to an interesting Saturday.

About Me
- Hope Howells Middleton
- Cheltenham, United Kingdom
- I live in Cheltenham UK with my husband Ranulf, daughter Georgia and son Merlin. Ranulf and I moved to Cheltenham in 1989 from London, we wish we had discovered Cheltenham earlier. The arts and performing arts scene is varied and abundant. There is always something going on. Sadly our dog Josca died a few months back, no plans for a new dog at the moment.
Cheltenham Walks & Crescents

Atonement by Sue Brown
Collagraph print from one the UK's best printmakers. A powerful image that would look great on any wall.
Necklace by Louise Lovell
Louise makes all the parts of her lovely jewellery. The hearts and squares are made from precious scraps of fabrics, the balls are knitted on the tiniest needles. A work of art to wear.
Matisse and Me by Gail de Jong
Mixed Media Painting - we think a self portrait of the artist
Glass Jewellery by Ruth Elliott
Handmade jewellery, the glass used in the beads was collected by Ruth on tuscan beaches
Red Rhythm of Life by Matthew Dean
Matthew's paintings of The Study of Movement combine his training in film animation and fine art. Just watch that figure move across the page
