My artwork is featured in this week’s Banbury Guardian!  Pick up your copy, or read the article online on the Banbury Guardian website (links on my Facebook & Twitter pages).

I’ve added another date to my Christmas stall diary so now you can also see me & my lovely colourful paintings at the Child First Christmas Fair in Banbury on Saturday 6th December (and buy some too of course!)  Check out my Facebook page for more info.

My paintings look even more vibrant in person – come & see for yourself!

I’m delighted to be at Horley Christmas Market on Saturday 29th November and Deddington Christmas Fayre & Pamper Evening on Tuesday 2nd December. Do stop by my stall if you are going to either of these wonderful events – my paintings look even better in person!  Check out the forthcoming events section on my Facebook page for more info.

Will Santa be bringing your little monkey a special Ella artwork?

If you’re in Banbury town centre anytime between now and 15th December do pop into Naomi’s Café Bar – Art & More, 67 Bridge St, to see some of my artworks on show.

As well as exhibiting, I’ve created a personalised piece for permanent display in the café.  It looks really at home up on the wall and it’s so nice to think of it being enjoyed by many customers over the years.

Here’s me & Naomi with some of my artworks in her lovely café.

It’s such a delight to be asked by Nikki at Dandy Development to paint her loveable DandyLion for an exclusive competition.  Dandy fans can win one of these two canvases which I will then personalise for their little one.  Find out details of how to enter over on my Facebook page.

An Ella art version of DandyLion – acrylics on 8″ by 8″ chunky canvas

I’m busy getting ready for a Christmas fair next month.  Here’s a sneak preview of some of the colourful paintings I’ll have on my stall.  These are all acrylics on chunky 8″ by 8″ canvas and can be personalised of course.  At just £25 they make an original & very unique present.

A colourful collection (acrylics on 8″ by 8″ chunky canvas – £25). What will you commission?

The mini monkeys have been multiplying.  Here’s a collection in some lovely new colours, waiting to be personalised.

Ella art mini toy monkey on bookshelf – oils on 8″ by 8″ chunky canvas, £35

The Ella art monkey on bookshelf is my most popular design – particularly for new arrivals, Christenings and naming days.  I usually paint it in high quality oils on a chunky 12″ by 12 ” canvas with name / dates / special messages on the 4 books (£75).  For a smaller space or budget you can commission a cute mini 8″ by 8″ version which can be personalised on the 2 books (£35).  Or ask me about a different size – all my work is bespoke.

It’s not my usual Ella art style, or audience, but I really enjoyed painting this teddy portrait oil painting for a grown up.  And she was delighted to have her favourite childhood toy turned into a beautiful Ella artwork.  The possibilities are endless when you commission your own painting!
