The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances: August 2011
http://naomifrances.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances. Monday, 29 August 2011. What I have been doing this week and some blather about working from photos. So, these are the drawings for this week, and I am quite liking working with oilbar on found papers. It appeals to my inner recycler, it's cheap, and you can get a lot of extra meaning into an image without even doing it on purpose! Oh, and photos stay still. Monday, 22 August 2011.

The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances: Hand Blenders and Sushi
http://naomifrances.blogspot.com/2011/10/hand-blenders-and-sushi.html
The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances. Thursday, 20 October 2011. Hand Blenders and Sushi. Is a hand blender really a girls' best friend? Finding the newspaper to draw on was a bit of an accident, I think it fits though.it was from an article in The Guardian. About the inventor of the Orgasmatron (yes it really did exist outside of the film Sleeper. Sushi Ascending to Fishy Heaven. I have been thinking a lot about sushi this week, because of the food zine Cakes and Canapes. The row they’d had then ...

The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances: May 2010
http://naomifrances.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances. Sunday, 9 May 2010. Short intro to me. Well, a bit about who I am is in order here I imagine. I am an Illustrator as well as a Maker of stained glass. I started the stained glass about 20 years ago, and it never let go of its hold on me. The Illustration came much later, in fact I didn't really realise that I could draw until I was in my early thirties! That's what a provincial arts education in the eighties will do for you!

The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances: April 2011
http://naomifrances.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances. Friday, 29 April 2011. I've realised that despite the title of this blog being stained glass and illustration I have never actually posted any illustration.oops. Today, this will be rectified and those of you that have never seen my illustration work will see what I meant in an earlier post when I said that the glass is like one side of my personality and the illustration is the other. The pretty and the downright dark! 8216;Where’d that come from? 8217; said Charlie.

The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances: The Sea, The Sea.....
http://naomifrances.blogspot.com/2012/02/sea-sea.html
The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances. Monday, 13 February 2012. The Sea, The Sea. This week I have been mainly painting the sea. I've also been experimenting more with texture and edges. So hopefully the images will explain for me! I think this one worked OK, although perhaps the darker top edge is a bit distracting? Anyway, I did these two, on paper made from the yellow pages. Durdle dor, dorset. Worthing, west sussex. I need to find a good way to frame them now. 13 February 2012 at 08:27. A few weeks ...

The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances: Work in Progress
http://naomifrances.blogspot.com/2012/01/work-in-progress.html
The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances. Monday, 30 January 2012. Cheddars' a Work in Progress. I often post images here and label them as Work in Progress, what I am trying to suggest is that I will at some point go back to these images and finish them. What I really, honestly mean by Work in Progress is Work That Frankly Isn't Going the Way I Want it to So I Give Up Now. Not quite such a snappy title is it? Going back to a piece of work is problematic for me though, for a number of reasons. Subscribe to:...

The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances: December 2011
http://naomifrances.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances. Friday, 9 December 2011. Moy cherub (yes it's Billy). Seeing as how it's the season to be jolly, I thought I would draw a cherub or two. I always liked those renaissance putti, the ones who had no (visible) body, they were essentially a head with wings. After all if you're a celestial body what do you need legs for? It's a fair point I think and it makes me wonder if angels might evolve to a point where they are legless? Gargoyles are fab aren't they? A few weeks ba...

The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances: Plan? Or Procrastination?
http://naomifrances.blogspot.com/2012/01/plan-or-procrastination.html
The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances. Wednesday, 25 January 2012. Waves and an unidentified bird.any ideas? Ok, I think we all know the answer to the title question. The sad fact is that the forming of an extensive and far reaching life plan, whilst in theory a very good idea, can be used as a Work Avoidance Technique. I'm good at them. The best ones are the ones that really feel like you are doing proper work, like internet research.and life plans. I present my newest painting/drawing. Those of you fam...

The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances: June 2010
http://naomifrances.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
The Awesome Artistry of Naomi Frances. Tuesday, 29 June 2010. This week I have been thinking a lot about wave forms. I live near the sea so perhaps that's no real surprise. I love the seaside whatever the weather and I have a huge amount of photos to prove it! Partly it's the colours, the combinations are different every time and I have been searching for a way to translate wave forms and the loveliness of the sea into a stained glass something or other.lamp or panel probably.
