  • Caroline Shotton Artist – Special Delivery & Handle With Care, For Charity

    Caroline Shotton is set to release 2 new charity box canvases on July 14th 2008 and £25 from the sale of each item will go to a baby charity called ‘Bliss.’ The charity helps to care for premature babies

    In 2007 Caroline had her second baby, Elliot, who was born prematurely and she heard about Bliss and through them she gained invaluable information about caring for her baby

    ‘Special Delivery’ by Caroline Shotton:

    Both images will retail at £330 each and are sized 22’’ x 22’’ inches, a little smaller than her normal box canvases but are at a much keener price! These are special time limited edition pieces and will only be available from 14 July – 30 September 2008, so hurry!

    ‘Handle With Care’ by Caroline Shotton:

    I really like these images as it brings something different again into her ‘Cow’ genre which undoubtedly she has cornered the market on.

    I never thought it was possible but these cows maybe the cutest images she has ever released.

  • Artists Paul Kenton shows us the London, New York & Paris Skylines

    A tremendous new artist that is has been published for about a year, Paul Kenton brings something very different to the landscape art scene. Originally born in Derby, England he now resides in Ilfracombe.

    ‘City Of Light,’ Paris by Paul Kenton:

    Having met Paul last year I was lucky enough to speak to him about his painting techniques, from which his unique limited edition box canvases are reproduced. Although he admitted to me that he uses both oil and acrylics amongst other painting mediums, the actual mixture he uses is his own closely guarded secret!

    ‘City Heat,’ London by Paul Kenton:

    As you can see from some of his box canvases, the artwork appears to have been layered on within the last few hours, it’s a lovely effect. Up close the intricacy of some of the paintings is amazing; However stand back from a distance and the real genius of his work comes to light and the full beauty of the scene is revealed to the eyes.

    For example ‘Skyline’ up close, looks like a maze of layers and layers of paint but from a distance, its instantly recognizable as the London Skyline!

    ‘Skyline,’ London by Paul Kenton:

    Random fact for you, Paul is also a keen Surfer!
