I thought I would share with you my workspace in my studio at home – my Happy Place! I spend hours in here. I have been busy painting commissions, new artwork pieces and woodart – the sanding preparation is the one thing I do in my husbands workshop!

My studio is a place for anyone to view an artwork they are interested in buying or to discuss a commission artwork, as well as by zoom and email.

I haven’t been able to walk as much over the last few months due to a foot injury, but have spent as much time as I can by the sea, in the sea and taking in the colours of Spring into summer.

I held an exhibition at The Castle in Bude in March. It’s always such a pleasure to be able to share my artworks for people to see. Three weeks on display and sales of original artworks and prints made it a big success. Watch this space for more exhibition news.

My sunflower artworks were painted to raise money for the Ukraine appeal and a special commission for my goddaughter and her Ukranian husband.

I have been experimenting over the last few months with murals and a tropical painting vibe.

I absolutely love painting murals. The tropical pink parrots/jungle were painted in a local vegan cafe in Bude Roots Lounge Finished with gold leaf detail it creates a unique wall art, often mistaken for wallpaper!

The second mural was to create an exciting surprise in the smallest room in the house !! Again, a tropical gold leaf detailed wall art complimented with plants and accessories makes a totally unique space!

Wood art anyone ?

The wood arts are for sale on my Etsy shop, you can message or email me if you would like to order one, or if you are in Bude you can buy them at The Deck

Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful summer!

Speak soon

Hello lovely people!

Here we are still in January, still in lock down and still missing our friends and family. But, alongside all this, there is a beautiful world out there that I have loved spending time in, walking, taking photos and then spending days, painting!

So my collection of oil paintings / Acrylic painting framed in box white frames is growing and they are a real reminder of the colours around us. I have some new fish swirl paintings that I am planning but I tried this week to literally paint what I had taken the photos of on my walks. The Iconic Pepperpot over looking Sumerleaze beach in Bude and onto Crooklets, Northcott, Sandymouth and beyond and a wonderful view of the Bude Sea Pool through the bramble hedge overlooking Summerleaze beach leading up to The Pepperpot!

I have also painted a beautiful fish swirl with the colours of winter, frost and snow, grey skies and then the bronze, gold glow of winter sunshine when it makes it through the cloud.

I am soon to be part of the most exciting Gallery and shop opening at the Bayview Inn, Widemouth Bay and will share all the exciting things that will be happening there a bit later in the year….basically as soon as Boris opens the country up again !

I have almost finished a large commission for a customer and hes a beaut! I’ll share full details on my next blog with you but have attached a sneak preview of the beautiful Lobster I have been working on. Hes a hug 140cm tall !

February is just around the corner, take care everyone and stay safe.

I have had a really busy fortnight, painting, preparing & sending orders .

My collection of oil paintings is growing and selling! Nothing I love more than to lovingly pack an original painting and send it off to it’s forever home.

New additions to my collection are ‘Snow on Roughtor’ ‘Lobster’ and ‘ Flying Free’

If you would like an original painting then please get in contact with me.

I am awaiting a delivery on a large canvas to start a new commission and I can’t wait to get started. Being in Lock down certainly has it’s advantages for spending more time on my art and chatting with a client about their commission and getting to know them and to find out where the commission is for in their house.

Today I collected 2 beautiful, large lampshades from Holdcroft lighting, Bude. My artwork designs and their expertise and bespoke lighting & shades have resulted in a collection of Rebecca Davey Art Lampshades. They work closely with interior designers around the country.

This weekend I will get out along the coastline whatever the weather. The colours, the skies the views will still be stunning, rain, sun or snow ! Photos, artwork ideas and news to follow.

Have a lovely week

2021 has arrived! A New Year and so far it’s been a great start.

I’ve spent the first couple of days climbing Tors, snow hunting and photographing beautiful Cornwall. The perfect colour inspiration time spent and with family.

Today I have spent time framing the start of my collection of oil paintings. Each painting is inspired by a trip out and about captured in a photograph and in my memory to bring home and start creating. I am really pleased with the four that are finished today and can’t wait to start the next ones.

I have added details of these to my Collections page after spending an afternoon working on my website. https://rebeccadaveyart.wordpress.com/collections/ Message me via contacts if you would like to order your own or buy one. They look beautiful amongst a collage, on their own and are prefect for free standing. Your own bit of Cornish artwork.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
