The end of a year and looking to a new one.

The end of a year and looking to a new one.

What a year. For me, It has been a challenging one with loss and uncertainty, pockets of unbridled joy and happiness running alongside a desire for change and renewal. I’m sure it was similar for many others.

As you may know, I have been looking at expanding my artistic offering. To that end I’ve been working hard on not one but two new websites.

My Original Oil Paintings site at chrisgillgallery.co.uk has had a brand new relaunch and I have added chrisgillgallery.com to carry the prints of my original oils.

You can check out the new prints only website here and sign up to get my celebratory launch offer of over 60% off on A5 prints in the ‘Surfing Destinations’ Collection. Just go HERE

You will also find significant price reductions on framing and additional size prints there too.

This is a limited time offer to celebrate the launch so I do hope you’ll get involved and check it out.

New work is currently under way on the ‘oil paintings’ side of things and I’m currently curating more ‘Prints Collections’ to add to the Prints Only website.

Outside of that, it’s been a terrible summer with opportunities for painting outdoors limited, however, I have managed a few excursions. The Autumn, on the other hand, has been positively stunning.

The leaves have actually stayed on the trees instead of all being blown off by storm force winds in October as they usually are. The colours have been amazing and in addition we’ve had some incredible sunsets and sunrises.

Exmoor has been a treasure trove of inspiration alongside some new coastal spots that I’ve recently discovered.

I am looking forward to a small break at Christmas and New Year and then diving in to what is shaping up to be a great 2025.

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic New Year in which your most cherished goals and dreams manifest before you.
