Serena posting….

please don’t all step back in confusion. Yes it HAS been a long time since I lasted posted on my own website and I do feel a little chagrined at my poor hubby having to hold the reins- but he does it so well. I am also sure he enjoys it really too. The weary cries to me of ” but I haven’t got anything to write about- it is your turn!’ are just for show, surely?

In truth I finally have something worthwhile to contribute (well, in my mind’s eye anyway.) Painting has been taking more of a back seat and I am gradually learning more on the image manipulation front, in regard to formulating a book of my photographic work, tied in with my art, and held loosely together with my rambling style of wordsmithery. Is that a real word? It is now it’s in black and white on the internet. Everything we read on t’internet is true… coughs. I am at times a lazy person so the book will be about this fine old town we live in, and how far my feet are willing to walk in it. For really lazy days Mr Canon has invented a wonderfully powerful zoom lens. What can go wrong?

Here is a recent image I have been working on of the Lock up on the bridge in Bradford on Avon. I hope you enjoy…

Perambulation

It is too easy to forget sometimes what an absolutely beautiful area we live in.  Before opening the gallery this morning, I went for a walk along the river path to Avoncliff and was very glad I did…

Please excuse the quality of the images, but I only had my phone!

On returning to the gallery to set up there was just time for a coffee in the lovely garden and then welcome the first customers…. beats working for a living!

Latest Book Project

Here is some advanced notice of a book project we have been involved with recently.  This lovely recipe book is by Susan Williamson and beautifully illustrated by Carrie Hill…

The book will feature a collection of recipes from Susan and will be available by early October 2015.  There are just a few design and layout matters to be finalised and then we go to print.

We will keep you informed as to the details but it will be the first publication under our newly formed SerenArts Publishing wing.  We are very excited to be able to offer this new service to clients wishing to have there books published.  For more information about any of our book design and printing services, please feel free to contact us at any time…
