Here is the very early stage of one of my new pieces. I am still deciding what colours I am going to do it in. Nothing is set in stone yet. #Art #Artist #Ludlow #Shropshire #LoveLudlow

I'm clearly thinking about spring as the flowers are out in the gallery. It's funny how my thoughts and feelings end up on canvas, often without me realising. This painting is called 'Full Bloom' and is 90cm x 90cm. #Shropshire #Art #Ludlow #Artist #LoveLudlow #Flowers

There are some paintings that flow so well, and others that I procrastinate over, but this one has been a dream to work on. It's in the early stage of creation but here's a glimpse of it so far. 'Always & Forever', 60cm x 80cm, sand & acrylic on canvas. #Love #Art #Ludlow #Shropshire #Artist

Here I've created a painting that brings together the basic human & horse forms in the same loving pose & style that I have always painted my humans in. I know how important animals are in our lives & the bond between horse & owner revolves around trust, love & respect. #Art #Shropshire #Ludlow

Just adding finishing touches to my latest painting. I created sketches of this pose over 20 yrs ago then produced a v basic human form version of it. There's something about this pose that tugs at my heartstrings. I knew back then that I would revisit it one day. #SoulMate #Art #Shropshire #Ludlow

Meet "Bobby", one of my recent commissions. As I love horses with a passion, this was a real treat to be asked to create for a Christmas present. #Art #Shropshire #Horses #Equine #EquineArt #Ludlow #ShropshireArtist #LoveArt

One last painting started in 2024. I'll be working on it for a few more days yet but I'm enjoying seeing it come together and it will be nice to have it as my first completed piece of 2025. Wishing you all a year full of love, incredible moments and so much more! #Ludlow #Art #Shropshire #NewYear

Here's a little something I've been creating in the background for the last few weeks. It has caused a few headaches and sore hands but it's great to see it in situ. There are 6 trees to find in Ludlow, done by different artists, and all are beautiful. I'm now feeling very festive! 🎄 #LoveLudlow

Ludlow's Winter Festival kicks off on Friday and I'm open late until 8PM as part of the town's late night shopping night. If you're in town, do pop in for a mince pie and some mulled wine. #Ludlow #Shropshire #Art #WinterFestival

I’m not going to leave X just yet - I hate that sense of being driven away from a place I used to love. But after one day on here, I already know how much prefer it. So if you see this and would be kind enough to share it to let people find me, that would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

I'm delighted with the framing of this piece "Aged With Love". I wanted the overall look to fit the title and Ironbridge Fine Arts have done a superb job. The frame has a rustic charm and woodworm effect 😍 #Art #Shropshire #Ludlow #Flowers

Here’s a progress post on my sheep commission. There is still quite a lot of work to do on it but it’s coming along. #Artist #LudlowArt #Countryside #Art #AnimalLovers #Sheep #Ludlow #Shropshire

Say hello to my latest painting "Mortimer". The painting is a nod to our long-haired fallow deer of Mortimer Forest. Upon starting this painting I had no idea that this mutation of fallow deer only exists in Mortimer Forest, which was a joy to discover. #Nature #Shropshire #Ludlow #Art #Artist

This painting has been so much fun to work on. A lot of research has gone into creating it and my idea of what it was going to be at the beginning has morphed into something much more interesting. I hope you will agree when you see it. #Ludlow #Art #LudlowArtSociety #Shropshire

I've been working on an exciting new project which I'm not quite ready to make public yet, hence the radio silence. However, Felix has been in over the weekend to have a good look around. #Shropshire #Art #Ludlow #Cats #CatsOfBluesky

I've not painted anything for a few days as I needed to get out in the countryside to recharge my batteries. I'm now back in front of my easel and here is my latest work in progress. It will head to the framers next week, so I will update you when it's back in the gallery. #Art #Shropshire #Ludlow

#MalvernAutumnShow was an exhausting but fantastic event. We met some lovely people & had a great time A big draw to my stand was ‘Reynard’. He stole many hearts over the weekend but is now in the gallery window until he is delivered to his den at his new owner's house next week. #Fox #Shropshire

I have been staring at this blank canvas for far too long, so here's my rough sketch. I will work on it properly over the next few days. Hopefully it will be ready to go on the stand at #MalvernAutumnShow #Art #Shropshire #LudlowArtist abigailhumphriesart.com

It's all systems go as I prepare for my stand at the Malvern Autumn Show. I would attach images of my artwork but Bluesky label them "Sexually Suggestive" (they're not, they're emotive depictions of basic human form). Hope to see you there abigailhumphriesart.com #Shropshire #MalvernAutumnShow #Art

It's all systems go as we prepare for my stand at the Malvern Autumn Show. If you are going to the show please come along and say 'hello'. I will have a substantial selection of my artwork on display and I would love to be able to talk to you about it in person. #Art #Shropshire #MalvernAutumnShow

An incredible project in East Oxford: local artists painting derelict telecoms boxes to brighten up the neighbourhood (4 pictured). I love street art as it’s for everybody and it’s nice to see female artists contributing in an often male space. boundarybrookcommunityprojects.co.uk/index.php/ox...

Had fun yesterday picking the perfect frames for my artwork with Sarah of Ironbridge Fine Arts. Sarah is an expert; we always select frames that enhance the paintings by working with the colours present in the artwork. Our chosen frames are stunning, I can't wait to see the results. #Art #Shropshire

I love seeing how a specially chosen frame can really enhance a painting. I'm making a trip to Ironbridge Fine Arts to see what frame will work best for my latest painting, that I finished last night. I will also be getting two other 90cm x 90cm paintings framed. #Art #LoveArt #Ludlow #Painting

I need to be able to judge from early on in the creation of a painting if it will have a strong emotive quality. If it does then I know that I can continue to develop it. If I don't, as the artist, feel moved by the pose then I know I'm going to be better off reworking it. @bsky.art #art #Ludlow
