Steve Urwin Original Artwork
I have been of late wondering whatis next in my art development.Sometimes artists become either stuck or frustrated trying to interpret a thought or idea into an image. I resorted to sketch again,pencil on paperback to the beginning.I ended up drawing puffins! This has given me a break and became a real pleasure,it released me […]
Over the last week the world has seen such murder on the streets of Paris,because of a pen and a creative mind.Art is supposed to challenge our safety zones,we are not supposed to like it all,or even any of it. It causes conversation,positive and negative.It is a part of life.It has a;ways been there from […]
I have been painting with some intent over the last ten years.It is a journey without an ending often bringing a lot of emotional extremes good and gross. I don’t believe there is any other way of developing your technique,attitude and determination but,that also depends on where you are in the game of selling artwork. […]
Hello again, I have been exhibiting at an art fair in chelsea this last weekend.it was a time to network and, be available to speak with prospective, interested people. The idea for most of us was to sell but, really in the small area of my art space,alongside some lovely artists,we helped one another to present […]
i grew up without any desire to paint or anything academic either.i wanted to be in a successful rock band.hey i still do! That youth driven desire maybe have dimmed down but I am still writing music and,I sorely miss playing live. Life seems strange how things turn out. I keep going to leave behind something […]

But, occasionally there is a pause to smile,say thank you to help a stranger. With the slow upgrade of the awareness of alzheimer’s disease which,is […]
In this age of social media,apps and 60 second celebrity status it appears the that conversation has become a less valued element in society.of course that would depend on your age and circle of influence. I have had two really interesting conversations this week.One was spent listening to a friend I have known for some […]
I have a studio space in a warehouse,it is small but I manage.Finding space in the area is tough and,there are usually strings attached to the deal. So many artists struggle with a similar situation.Then you have to have space to store your work.My particular work varies in size from 100cm square to 20cm sq. […]
When I was an up and coming,so I thought,young, desperate to be famous musician,I wrote a letter asking for advice to a seasoned drum teacher professional. This man was revered,though old school to my mind,an excellent technician who had a high profile in the music jazz world. I guess I was excited on the reply […]
For artists,the main focus is to produce professional accomplished art.They are concerned with the subject matter,style and development of their technique.We all have an individual technique because we are all unique.Singularly special. it has been said to me many times “you need to enjoy what you do”.That emotion,for myself, might come at the end of […]
