Poppy has been helping out at the studio today for Open Studios Stirlingshire. Selling tea towels, showing visitors where the best sun spots are, entertaining our younger guests, and, of course, having some well deserved naps 🐾🧡

Love being part of this wonderful local event! 🧡Open Studios Stirlingshire, 7th - 15th June 🧡 For directions and artist profiles… scenestirling.com/open-studios...

So many lovely suggestions for my new wren painting (see previous post if you haven’t already) Some of my favs… 1. Garden Song 2. Morning Melody 3. Penny for your thoughts 4. For the Early Morning Bluesky hasn’t got a poll option yet so let me known in a comment if any of these feel right 🤍

Just needs a title. Any ideas?

The joy of the quiet moments of Open Studios …time to finish a painting, the other artists popped out for a bit and I was left with the sounds of garden birds 🧡 #OpenStudiosStirlingshire

So happy to have sold a painting on the first day of Open Studios Stirlingshire. These geese are now flying home! 🧡🙏☺️

Wonderful first day at Open Studios Stirlingshire! Quiet morning so I got some painting done, visitors started coming around lunch and we had a flurry in the afternoon. Lots of chats about art. Some chats about the weather of course. And I sold a painting! Lovely start 🧡

All about this till the 15th 🧡 scenestirling.com/open-studios...

Studio No. 28 almost ready… 2 days to go! #OpenStudios #OpenStudiosStirlingshire 🧡 7th-15th June scenestirling.com/open-studios...

With my open studios coming up this weekend I have finished some new canvases to display for the week. Thought I'd offer an online preview, so this hare and a few new pieces are available on my website if you'd like to buy one before I get studio visitors! charlottestrawbridge.co.uk/art

Part 2. 💚 #processvideo #artprocess #wildlifeart #heron

Our Open Studios starts this weekend. We are excited to open our doors and invite you in for a chat and a nosey! Myself, Mark (jeweller), Jane (painter) and Kerry (painter) can be found at Northland House, just outside Doune. Directions and info: scenestirling.com/open-studios... No.28 🧡

Sneak peek of the fabulous exhibition Weigh Ahead Gallery have put on in Dunblane, with a selection of Open Studios Stirlingshire artists. Such beautiful work. Worth a visit if you are local. On till the 13th July 🧡 (I have two pieces in the gallery, see if you can spot them ☺️)

Stag had worked hard to be proud of who he was. He'd reached the point, when complimented, he'd graciously say 'Thank you, that's very kind'. Not an easy thing. Most his life he'd dismissed praise or humbly rejected it. Now though, he knew his worth. He wasn't ashamed to show it.

What a beautiful cover for July's John Clare Society Journal! So lovely to see my daughter @cstrawbridgeart.bsky.social's artwork associated with one of my all-time favourite poets. #poetry #art #JohnClare

So excited, and feel really honoured, to have my art on the July cover of the John Clare Society Journal. Looks lovely @kovesi.bsky.social 🤍
