Well it's happened, and I am so happy! Waterstones have now agreed to sell my treasure hunt book. You can buy it online at: www.waterstones.com Or get your local Waterstones store to order it in for you. I also have a fantastic promotion in the window at Waterstones, Trowbridge. I am involved with the Trowbridge Art trail, which is in position for all to enjoy until September. It is a trail about the changing environment and how important it is to protect our wildlife in the current climate. You can spot artists work, on this theme, in shop windows all around Trowbridge. Great for all the family to enjoy. One of my contributions is my fibreglass hare promoting my book and our endangered British Brown Hare. Thank you to Megan Witty from WE Events for placing my hare in Waterstones and Trowbridge Chamber of Commerce for backing this amazing event. @trowbridgechamber #trowbridgearttrail #trowbridgechamber #meganwitty1 @meganwitty1 Here is a fun video of us taking the hare through the Shires to get it to Waterstones. We certainly got lots of wonderful comments from the public! As always I can't thank my husband enough for being such a great sport, taking time off work to get it to Waterstones. . . . . . . #interiordesign #joannamay #localbusiness #wildlife #eyes #windowsofthesoul #wiltshiregallery #design #artlover #wildlifeprint #wildlife painting #soul #creativity #wildlifeartist #womenartist #indiedevizes #devizesgallery #artismypassion #artismyspace #artismyrealhome #artismydrug #artismylife #artismylove #trowbridgearttrail #airbrushartist #wiltshirebusiness #worldenviromentday ![I am so delighted that my Tiger SOS painting is now in Trowbridge's Santander shop window, to...]()
I am so delighted that my Tiger SOS painting is now in Trowbridge's Santander shop window, to acknowledge the plight of the tiger for World Environment Day. It will be on display until September as part of an 'Art Trail' around Trowbridge town centre. Tiger SOS This tiger painting was created to acknowledge the plight of our beautiful tigers worldwide and how in Great Britain we are very aware of their declining numbers. The stripes of the Union Jack are merging with the stripes of the tiger and in the eye there is the SOS symbol, an announcement of how endangered the tiger is. The painting was created for a Pop Art solo show based on the iconic animals of London Zoo that I held at the Savoy Hotel in London. The painting raised money for ZSL's conservation work for tigers. Michaela Strachan open the show and loved the style of the work. This is what she said about the paintings: 'When Joanna explained her London Zoo animal paintings to me I wasn't sure what to expect. She described it as "contemporary pop art". When I saw them I was blown away. They're imaginative, unique, bold, totally different and truly wonderful. Wildlife in bright, brave colour - I love it. I love the quirkiness - the cartoons of Winnie the Pooh in Winnipeg's face. The SOS in the eye of the tiger. The humour in the Royal Lion - it's all simply brilliant. The unique painting of our majesty in canary yellow is so different - its genius. These paintings are wonderfully refreshing and I can imagine nearly all of them hanging in my lounge! Utterly fabulous.' Michaela x Prints ready to hang can be bought from £350 for a small canvas print £550 for a medium canvas print £800 for a large canvas print The original is £10,000 I will be donating a percentage from the artwork to save the tiger.

Exciting times, I'm designing the map to go with the book! I'm absolutely loving it right now- designing a map to go with my treasure hunt book. I hope you love it too when you see it!!! I've been exploring the most picturesque route to travel around Wiltshire to each of the landmarks that are in the book, like Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral. It is the stunning area of eight White Horses and you see several of them on route! Me and my lovely hubbly spent Sunday completing the whole route to check we were happy with it and it made for a fantastic day out for us. We were on a high travelling through the beautiful countryside. It was so good to have some time off from hectic working schedules. Just the tonic for anyone wanting some down time and recharge! It would take 7 days to complete, for most people, since we didn't stop at the beautiful landmarks. I've designed it to do as a week's Staycation or to go out as individual day trips to complete in as long a period as desired. Just to give you a taste, here we are coming up to the Hackpen White Horse just past Avebury stone circle.
