Well without doubt I've been neglecting my blog for far too long. I can only put it down to two things....work & play. Lots of commission work has been rolling in thankfully and since I am the quintessential dillydallier my tardy approach has only got me to the top of the pile now. I've loaded up some new paintings, illustrations & steampunk pendants onto my website <a href="http://www.thejosiebaggleycompany.com/">The Josie Baggley Company </a>& signed A3 sizelimited edition prints are also now available -just sayin' :)</div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div>~*PLAY...oh yes play...what a grand time I've been having this year so far. Myself & my paramour Eamonn have been living-up the Dublin jazz scene , have taken a wonderful holiday in France organised and run Temple of Rock and are on the cusp of the return of The Ferocious Mingle Market. We've spent the summer imbibing ginger beer & ruby wines , indulging in home made icecream ,cakes & pies, cycled all around the city, partook in art exhibitions,enjoyed concerts, shows & gigs -some of which Eamonn played in and luxuriated in doing absolutely nothing of task or toil whilst in Dinan, France. Long may it last....</div><br /><br /><div>oh and by the way EVERYONE who left a comment on my last post will receive a little something in the post...just send me your address details <a href="mailto:josiebaggley@hotmail.com">josiebaggley@hotmail.com</a></div></div><br /><br /><div>Rainey Jx<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Rainey J.

He was grand uncle to The White Rabbit ehemm ..yes.. and packed out the theatres such as Theater Van Der Wien with his jaw dropping performance to the delight of his adoring audience...pulling a medium sized child from his top hat was his signature trick. He was also a shrewd investor & bought up many cafés & speakeasies which yielded him a pretty penny. He also took part in the seasonal Balls in particular The Kaffeesiederball in Vienna where he sang his ears off on a beerfilled belly & on one publicised occasion fell off the stage and broke his pufftail in three places. It was in plaster for two months . It was never the same again and he noticeably walked to one side from that moment on. </div><div>I think he resembles the actor John Malkovich.</div></div></div></div>Rainey J.

Handpainted portrait- she turned out to be kind of 'pop arty-vintage with a Santo thing going on -I THINK! and then I've added very old (from 1918) tears of paper & vintage lace to give texture & a tactile multi dimensional quality to it. I've mixed my colours to give an old plaster and peeling paint type of look to the background. I love to incorporate old vintage & antique 'bits' to my work rather than leave a 'cleancut painting'. I used to paint portraits at one time in my life and got quite bored with its boundaries so now I really enjoy pushing the boundaries so to speak on a finished painting to get a finished mixed media original painting whilst keeping the integrity of the raw painting....haha I know what I mean in my own head anyway lol This one has been sold to a University in the UK.</div>

I've even downloaded CODECS -whatever THEY are! </div><div>I give up but will try again in the morning. I'm so disappointed that I'm late so Late I couldn't play sniff SNIFF ;( and I've had to eat all the meringues & eclairs on my ownio too.

Here we have a handmade timber three door Screen or Room Divider & handpainted by yours truly! These screens are great for instant privacy by partitioning off part of a room eg a work station or when used for their original funtion ie to undress /dress behind...oooohlala !This one stands approx. 6ft. I've been working on this over the last couple of days. The carved head-scrolling looks very nice indeed. I thought I'd mess about with a Tenniel illustration (I had a three inch book picture to work from so although the detail is not exact & I've added my own detail here & there I think I've stuck to the style more or less..and I did use my magnifying glass lol .I DO really like this particular picture. It's a menacing scene suggesting all sorts of possibilities & I like the way Lion & Unicorn refer to Alice as 'monster'! I've also added genuine vintage French playing cards (about 80 years old) & an excerpt from an 1952 ED of Through The Looking Glass.It's been given a framing in gold leaf & freehand scrolling. All art work as is freehand as usual & signed. I've used acrylics and it's finished in a good coat of tough varnish so as it can be polished/wiped down and also to protest the artwork<br />
For Sale on my website.( now SOLD)....order a similar piece, just email me for a quote!</div>

I love the dark creepiness. The depictiopn of The White Rabbit is delivered perfectly to my mind!-sinister & weird! Other parts to this amazing movie can be viewed on youtube. Check out the Queen of Hearts & Jabberwocky clips. It took Svankmajer TWO years to make using stop motion technique. A method that he has used in other fabulous movies too. A preternatural accomplishment this movie is seemingly simple without all the Hollywood accoutrements yet would be hard to duplicate. Of course HIS Wonderland vision was key. Just FABULOUS!Rainey J.

He was brutally 'sold out in love' & grieved & screamed like a tortured soul into the spirit of a thousand & one nights until he had ripped out his past from his being . And so, the Fool Claude Arundale became a twisted clown with an icy visage who loved only to endure & to give horror & pain . He attracted his victims with his sorrowful appearance & jester attire & when they realised all was a jest & wore shock in their eyes.(that was the part he enjoyed the most)..his shrill of a laugh cut the night hush into a nightmare.Oh how he loved to trick & torture & live to love to hate.'<br /><br />Original Painting with then added 1921 music manuscript & very old lace to the neckline & metal-fabric to the headpiece. Claude's face is handpainted & then varnished to a gloss finish to achieve an 'ice' look by picking up & reflecting shadow & light I've painted his hat & harlequin background in a faded murky finish.<br />This painting is the subject of my first post with Dark Arts Guild of which I am a proud member.</div></div></div></div>Rainey J.

Just LOOK would you, at what my dear friend Johanna Spinks in California has drawn! 'Tis ME !-a painted drawing of me in the hat that I've made especially for her ! Isn't that amazing? Are you jealous?;) hehe. Johanna is well into the beginning of a challenge that really requires great discipline ,that is to complete one drawing EVERY day for 365 days. Wow! and I tell ya every single drawing that she has done is bloody superb! She truly is a master of her craft. Her command of brush & paint would be of a calibre that most will never reach no matter how much we try ,learn (sad but true!) she simply has an old masters' gift-that's why there are so few with this natural expertise. So this is her drawing for today...ME! Oh good gawd I am so chuffed & flattered!! The thing is my husband wants to buy this work now as he doesn't want anybody else to have it! The sweetheart! I'm not objecting mind you!</div><br /><div>You won't be at all disappointed should you pop over to <a href="http://portraitpaintingbyjohannaspinks.blogspot.com/">Johanna's Blog</a> right now & have a nelly! Then,I would recommend that you continue on to her fabulous <a href="http://www.portraitartist.com/spinks/">website </a>. Seriously have a look ..truly inspiring.</div><br /><div>Thankyou so much Johanna...I LOVE it!</div>Rainey J.

We have arranged a fine trade. In return for this chocolate velvet bonnet with pink antique rose pin I'll be receiving the beautiful painting that she mastered of my <a href="http://thejosiebaggleycompany.blogspot.com/2009/11/little-story.html">Pink </a>French House when she was over there on a residency a couple of months back.</div><br /><div>A Molly Moppit Hat is named so due to the fact that in olden times the washer women(mop lady) would wear a similar style usually in a white cotton & with lace trim for night-time! The vinateg velvet(not velour) is luxurious...so soft & is a sumptious shade of delectable chocolate. I bought the fabric & the vintage brooch at a Puce (flea market) in Ploubelay in Brittany. The lace & pink satin used to make the rose-pin is from an Irish antique gown & is so pretty & delicately comprised. I have also lined the bonnet & it has my label.</div><br /><div>I am really looking forward to her receiving this almost as much as I am about receiving the painting.</div><br /><div>If YOU would like to trade/barter then go to The Fleamarket Floozies(GRAB the badge). This is a facebook page that Jo over at <a href="http://jo-crowroad.blogspot.com/">The Crow Road</a> launched after herself & myself thought up the idea in conjunction with Debs's <a href="http://thebartercircle.blogspot.com/2010/01/fleamarket-floozies-come-join-us.html">The Barter Circle</a> (GRAB the badge).

I realise that this sounds nuts && you know ?-you're probably right there! Jim arranged them this way on my easel all ready to greet me in my new studio space....all eyes were upon me when I walked in! My delicate mind is being taken over by the desire (I believe that that word 'desire' should have a 'z' in it, don't you?!)to paint this character ALL THE TIME! Things have GOT to alter. Balance is vital & must prevail! </div><br /><div>You've seen the 'Nasty' little guy before & the other two are new to the world. I've got these White Rabbits hopping all around the world at moment one in Spain with Juame, One in Denmark with Kirsten, One inAmerica with Alicia, three in the Uk with Martin, Anna & Jonah & and a couple here in Ireland one with somebody you may all know but I can't say hehehe.</div><br /><div>Yep I've moved to <a href="http://www.archwaystudiodub.com/">Archway Studios</a> (check it out)about a five minute walk around the corner from my house literally! I'm so thrilled that there was a space available for ME!. I made the decision to move mainly based on GUILT as although my other studio was in a really funky location with stuff going on there I just couldn't get it together to GET there each day...you know..a bus and a fifteen minute walk. Most times I didn't arrive 'til late evening . Then I was hungry! Then I just wasn't in the mood & it was on my mind that I had to do the journey back again! So I couldn't justify having it/the cost it incurred when I didn't really use it that much. Anyway I'm peachy now thankyou very much!</div></div>Rainey J.

I love the 1917 old music manuscript that I've added to the inner frame of the painting -it's SO old and beautifully printed. The inks that withstood time. Even the paper is so beautiful. The font designs are so elaborate & artistic.. She wears a gold leaf crown & has an abundance of lush fruits& roses all around her. She glows with happiness,contentment; she is successful and in control of love and life!</div></div></div></div>Rainey J.

To cut a long story short I returned home to my city of Dublin about a year ago. I love being home. I have not once thought about moving again, not for an instant. I feel that I have gained this permanent root that was always there yes but only truly felt & appreciated and lived after I had left it to live in other parts of the world. I loved living in London also . My daughter was born there. But France namely Dinan was a wonderful place to live & to experience. Anyway, I lived in a little 'nest' over there. I called it a nset because it reminded me of a bird's cosy nest high & safe on top of a tree. A Pink House Top. It is medieval & adorable although tiny in size it's huge in character. Original shutters & beams etc. Dinan is an arty place packed full with artisans & appreciations. It is a small city built within medieval castle walls. My little pink house is also within the ramparts.</div><br /><div>Through blogging I met a wonderful person. An artist. A classical portraiture artist. Highly regarded as a master of her art. She has been featured in The New York Times & one of her many affiliations is CA State Abassador to The Portrait Society of America . Johanna Spinks.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Johanna had commented on my post about Dinan. On my post I had loaded up a pic of the pink house. She told me that she was from California & that she was about to travel to France -to Dinan! She was invited there by Les Amis de la Grande Vigne to stay in an artists' dwelling to paint to her heart's content & then to have one of her paintings chosen to be added to the gallery wall. I'm not surprised as she has that old masters' style ,rich in depth . She really gets to know a face prior to & during painting and has the ability to paint a person's 'being'. She has told me that she is a 'slow' painter. And evidently that is the way it SHOULD be as in reality it IS slow to get to know a person & her paintings show this clearly. As I followed her blog it was as though I was there! It was a funny read , a charming read and at times a little sad especially when she kissed her Husband goodbye after the first week there (I'm not telling you any more -visit her blog!) I knew the streets & buildings that she painted & understood her frustrations and delights. We emailed during her time there & then on one blog she mentioned that the only thing she wished to paint (at <em>that </em>time during her four week stay) was my little pink house! Then she emailed me again & when I opened the attachment there it was- a perfect painting of My Little Pink House! . WOW !How cool is that? I was- I AM chuffed! I squealed with delight lifting up my laptop to show whoever was there! She KNEW I'd feel like that too! Imagine-she saw my house from America on my blog,flew to France and sat in front of it whilst she painted it & whilst I was in Ireland!! Anyway her blogging for that period has been compressed into one jam packed well written engaging post. You'll enjoy I'm sure. So here is the painting of my <span style="font-size:130%;">Little Pink House by</span><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span><span style="font-size:130%;">Johanna Spinks. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:85%;">Thankyou Johanna x</span></div><br /><div><a href="http://www.johannaspinks.com/">http://www.johannaspinks.com/</a></div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://portraitpaintingbyjohannaspinks.blogspot.com/">http://portraitpaintingbyjohannaspinks.blogspot.com/</a><a href="http://www.johannaspinks.blogspot.com/"></a></div></div></div></div></div>Rainey J.

I hope you were pandered to with regards to potions & concoctions. If not please refer to the complaints dept. (small print -well invisiblle actually!)<br />Somebody left their broom behind & I also found a pair of cobwebby stripey socks in the cauldron that are NOT mine. I'll leave them hanging on the gate for the owner-you know who you are-you <strong>naughty</strong> witch!<br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;color:#663333;"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">I'm so excited about this year's Temple Bar Chocolate Festival as one of my paintings ('The Hatta' listed in a previous blogpost) is being exhibited along with other artists' works in the NGG Exhibition on Thursday evening!
