Sally Harrold Art

Sally Harrold Contemporary Abstract Artist, Wales.jpg

I paint large, multi-layered abstract work from my studio in rural mid-wales.
I am a lover of colour and texture and contrasts which reflects in my work throughout the seasons.

Sally exhibits and sells her work in galleries and privately and at her favourtie Manchester Art Fair annually.

Follow me for works in progress and inspiration.

For me, the best weekend on the porthmeor programme St Ives. Led this weekend by @eiselejill. Honestly the best tutor I have ever had the pleasure of being around. Generous, insightful and encouraging. Topped with a fabulous exhibition in the crypt gallery by @wadsworth.paul What an incredible experience this was. It was like sunshine drawing you in and holding you close. Feeling so inspired. A beautiful almost end of to a rejuvenating 10 months held together and nurtured by @kate_southworth. I would highly recommend for regaining your mojo.

Ooft. To frame or not to frame. I’m a big fan of both. I definitely like a mix of framed and unframed when curating. Really not sure with this one though.

Almost there. Some line work and a few glazes tomorrow and ready to be framed.

I had a lovely few days in Bristol this week with my friend Sarah. I went to see #donnaashworthwords who was very inspiring followed by some precious time with Theo and Roo my gorgeous grandboys. So nice to see the sun this week. Hope you’re taking a breath this weekend and looking up and out

Planning the curation for Manchester Art Fair is always my favourite prep. It’s tricky when you paint the seasons and often on big canvas. My pet hate is cramming the walls with work. I love the breathing space but it’s difficult to leave some work out from the first hang.

If you are thinking of coming this year the dates for your diary are 21-23rd November. Im stand 853. It’s a great art fair and always has some famous faces. Let me know if you want complimentary tickets.

A windy grey day
Time to get the oil paints out
It’s too easy to just keep on doing what you’ve always done. It’s going to be messy especially on big pieces but oil is just too much up my alley not to change.

I think this one will be coming to @mcrartfair.
Im looking forward to being back this year after having to miss last year due to a fall, and a broken shoulder. They said it would take a year and I scoffed but they were right. So so glad to be back in a zone.

The thickest, softest, deepest moss on the fallen trees in our tumbledown woods outside the studio. Rich with habitat, the sounds of the woodpecker and the red kites calling. The cooler temperature and shafts of light. An every day ritual here.

A top song and band to go with a top day in the studio. Pressure off is always a relief.

Thanks Jamie @jamiewalkerdop for spending the morning here yesterday to take photos and footage for my new website refresh. You made it as pain free as possible for me and your warm professionalism and gentle humour was appreciated!

I’m excited to see the results in the next few weeks and if anyone can recommend someone to help with the website please let me know. It would be very appreciated.

I’m reminded of a time Jack came home from school aged about 6 (24 yrs ago)! and asked if we could find a photo of all of us together for a project… him with his Dad Jase and sister Lucy and me. There wasn’t one. We made a montage instead adding me to the photos of them together. It made me sad then and again now. I have pathologically avoided photos all my life. Anyone else?

Thanks again Jami and here’s to new work and access to available work in the coming weeks.

The end of Part 2 St Ives Porthmeor Programme.
Alchemy with Kate Southworth. Luna and Sol.
So much shared, absorbed and ready to bring elements into current practice. Painting in a small group every month is so inspiring, growthful and at times hilarious.

Thank you Kate for being so thoughtful, generous and patient and to the diverse, funny and supportive new group of art pals.

Hope you've got some warm sunshine today. I'm painting from 6am until 2pm and 5-7pm at the moment on lots of new canvas sizes. It won't last for long but it's what works for me and I have a deadline of August/Sept. Thrilled that I have found someone to come and take video and drone footage and photograph my work at last. It does mean that I have to be in some shots though...all of me...both eyes and everything. I get put off when people speak on reels so we will see about the need for that. Anyway, remember if you're not in the zone now you will be soon. It always comes back. Always.
