Here's a closer look at today's STOP PAINTING Project "Kathe Kollwitz".
👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️
I love the symbol of eyes of protection or the evil eye as it's also called and this is something I'm planning on working a lot more with in the future so I decided to add them in here.

This painting is available as part of The STOP PAINTING Project.

The STOP PAINTING Project allows you as the art buyer to tell me when my painting is finished so it's exactly to your taste.
If you would like to learn more about The STOP PAINTING Project and join in to get yourself one of my paintings at a special project rate while being part of an interactive art buying experience, then please go to www.michellehartonart.com/stop-painting-project to pay and then write STOP PAINTING under the artwork you want.

All of the project paintings are 8 x 8 inches, acrylic on a wooden cradled panel ready to hang and are €105 including worldwide postage.

I've pledged all the paintings as part of the @artistsupportpledge which means for every €1000 I make I will buy artwork for €200 from another artist so by supporting my work you are also supporting the work of other artists.

Tomorrow I will be launching my collection "Astral". 🌟🌠✨⭐✴️✳️💫
If you are on my mailing list you will get the first preview this evening. To sign up go to my website www.michellehartonart.com or send me your email address.
🎨
I know it's probably not the best time to launch this with level 5 lockdown just being announced but I've been doing a lot of work behind the scenes to present the paintings in the most at home online viewer friendly way and already had to defer from showing this collection in The Saatchi Gallery @saatchi_gallery at START @start_net_ this week. So I've decided it's best to just put the work out there and hopefully viewing the collection will brighten up a little part of your day. I've created a catalogue that I think presents my work better than I have before and all the work will be available to purchase online with FREE worldwide shipping📦.
🌟
I guess I'm learning with every collection launch!

STOP PAINTING has been called on "Marie Laurencin"

STOP PAINTING has been called on "Marie Laurencin". That makes 2 STOP PAINTINGS sold this week along with "Pan Yuliang".😊
I'm honestly so excited and grateful everytime I sell a painting, it really means so much to me that people want to have my art in their lives. 🙏

Next week I should have been exhibiting @start_net

Next week I should have been exhibiting @start_net_ in @saatchi_gallery in London. Unfortunately because of the virus restrictions I had to defer my place at the show until next year. I've been working on my paintings for START since the beginning of the year and I was so excited to show my work at such a prestigious event but look forward to doing it in 2021. I've been trying to decide where to show my collection or what to do with the paintings now, which is a situation I know many artists are in since so many exhibitions have been cancelled.
.
🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
.
So I've decided to launch my new collection next week anyway online.
💌
As always all the lovely people on my mailing list will be receiving the collection catalogue first so if you would like to get it before it's released on Instagram and Facebook please sign up on my website www.michellehartonart.com or message me your email address.

UPDATE - STOP PAINTING has been called! 😊

Today's STOP PAINTING "Pan Yuliang".

"And if somehow the purple sky
embraces you with all its hues

Just hold on for it won’t be long
the sun will rise to change its song."

To me this painting is becoming the floor deep in a rainforest. One day I would love to go see orangutans in their natural habitat but for now I think one is appearing for me here. Let's hope there will be a natural habitat left for them in the future. If you haven't seen David Attenborough's new documentary "A Life On Our Planet" I would definitely recommend it. 🗺️

Beginning of a new painting. I think it's becoming a smaller Ha Long Bay.
I always find it strange that I start with zero intention for what a painting will be but for some reason certain scenes want to be painted again.
Check out my stories to see a little video of this painting so far and my favourite companion in the studio (besides Elvis obviously 🐕).

Today I've decided to work back on "Hilma af Klint

Today I've decided to work back on "Hilma af Klint" for The STOP PAINTING Project so this is a last call for anyone who has pre-purchased and wants to claim it or if anyone wants to purchase it as it is. I'll be starting work on it around 2pm

Even though I really like this painting I decided to work on this one for the day that's in it as there is a new Hilma af Klint documentary "Beyond The Visible" being released tonight and it looks amazing on

'Ha Long Heat", 80 x 80cm, acrylic on canvas.

I've left this painting looser than some of my other work as I feel for me it represents the heat of Vietnam and the mystical nature of the islands of Ha Long Bay.

The photo of me is taken by my friend and fellow teacher @leanne_venter_ close to where we used to go buy our groceries. It always amazed me that the islands are literally in the middle of the town. Even when I looked out of my apartment there they were.

Before I came back to Ireland I was lucky enough to take a cruise for a few days around the thousands of limestone islands that this part of Vietnam is famous for. It was a wonderful experience that I would definitely recommend.

Not my most favourite job but today I was photographing some of my big paintings. I find it difficult to get really good pictures of my work even though I have a great camera and I always need to do some editing on Photoshop after to get it as close to the painting as possible. It's always hard to find the right light. I discovered recently that the kitchen has the best light to photograph my work in so today my kitchen looked like this. 📸
To be honest I had worried that maybe all these paintings looked like they had been done by 3 different artists but seeing them together like this made me see the threads running between them all. I'd love so much to exhibit them all together. 🙏
Elvis as always supervised. 🐾

Today I went back to work on this 100 x 100cm painting I started a few months ago. I was inspired by my little STOP PAINTING Project landscapes to do one on a big scale. 👩‍🎨
The first picture is how I left it tonight, just a few more touches to do and I think it will be done.

Yesterday my "Gwen" yoga mat arrived. I've been trying it out yesterday and today and I'm really happy with it. 🧘‍♀️ The quality is great, the print of the painting came out very well and they come with a handy carry strap. 😊 It's cool to see part of such a small painting blown up so big.

Elvis supervised the quality control check and then had a nap. 🐾😂

"The Entertainers", Mixed media on canvas, 100 x

"The Entertainers",
Mixed media on canvas,
100 x 60 x 4cm.

From "A House of Pomegranates", my collection based on "The Fairy Stories of Oscar Wilde".
.
.
This painting was inspired by "The Birthday of the Infanta".
🌹
It really upsets me to see animals being used for entertainment in circuses and shows so I think that's why I was so drawn to paint this scene from the story.
.
.
.
📖
"they disappeared for a moment and came back leading a brown shaggy bear by a chain, and carrying on their shoulders some little Barbary apes. The bear stood upon his head with the utmost gravity, and the wizened apes played all kinds of amusing tricks with two gipsy boys who seemed to be their masters, and fought with tiny swords, and tired off guns, and went through a regular soldier's drill just like the King's own bodyguard."
