I am back from wellington! things cheered up a bit. I miss Wal like crazy already, but, eh. I think a little devon time before we move in together is good. I finished quite a few paintings, did lots of drawing.

I have a meeting with my artist mentor tomorrow. I got a letter back from COCA (center of contemporary art) saying they are interested in offering me a show, so ive been writing a new proposal today to send off to them. A show there would just be fantastic, even if it is in Christchurch

Here is a little girl from a set of paintings i am working on - imaginary friends.

Vacation

My Hearts
Originally uploaded by Eating ghosts

As some of you may have noticed, i have been missing from the internet for a few weeks now. This is because the boy in my life got a job at Weta (!!!) and moved cities (not so great) and i have been visiting with him for the past while. I have lots of new things to show everybody, paintings, drawings, silly purchases. So when i get home next week expect lots of regular blog updating!

I just added this little lady to my Etsy store ( http://www.deerface.etsy.com ) and still have a few prints available too. I will be making regular updates there, too, of very affordable originals ( less than a third of my regular gallery prices) since i will be moving soon and need to clear out some art!

My website is also now up and (sort of) running. Most of the links don't work, and the gallery isn't set up properly, but you can still view all my pictures there. My web assistant ( or.. my nice friend Rob who is helping me in exchange for cupcakes) is away exploring japan for a month so it won't be fixed for a while. Visit it anyway and let me know if anyone has any suggestions of anything else i should add to it. Http://www.devonsmith.co.nz

Updates.

I have just added a couple of things to my etsy store, including this dear little fawn. I love this painting but i'm moving cities soon and can't take all my art with me, so everything is being sold off slowly. http://www.deerface.etsy.com

My website is now online, although not entirely finished - most of the links don't work, but the gallery does, which is most important.

Stir is closing down. Which also means my exhibition will be closing. I realised i never showed any of the finished work so here is a photo of Josephine in her loely frame.

I've added several original paintings at very cheap prices. All orders come with a free postcard print to celebrate the opening of my new etsy store.

Things are stagnating. My website launch will happen soon but it's waiting on other people. My etsy will finally be open soon, but thats also waiting on other people. I have been painting, but not at the rate or level i wish i was.

Expect newness soon. But how soon i cannot say.

New Exhibition

I have a new exhibition opening in the next few days. The paintings are already up, but we haven't had the formal opening yet. It's all brand new stuff that i've done in the last couple of months so i'm still really pleased and love it all.

"a Box of Birds" Various new works by Devon Smith.
At Stir on George street. Open 10-5 daily.

Please have a look if you can, the framing turned out so wonderful and this is my first formal solo show. The owner Steph is a lovely lady who helped me with organising everything and sells lots of delightful things in the rest of the store.
