Pages of my sketchbook!
Have had to make them TIFFS as Jpegs seem to be going out of fashion! Just wanted to show you all how i work and the terrible that one may have if dyslexic/dyspraxic and an artist!
In other news, I have bought my entry form for this years RA Summer show, only submitting 1 piece this year as am a tad broke and maybe i'll be just as lucky with 1 as i was last year with 2 eh?!
Enjoy the pictures and watch this space for more Painting and Show News YAY.

FB pimp and soon to come...
Btw the way if you would like to see recent work and "Like" my page its called Lauren E Hanrahan Painting on Facebook, here you can see latest pictures and updates as to what I have been up to! Email me otherwise if you would like to know any info!
Otherwise I went to see the Ai Weiwei commission at the Tate Modern along with Orozco's latest and wow, everyone should definetly go and see even though 9 pounds/5 concs is a bit steep it really is worth seeing. I have written reviews on both these artists/shows and shall be loading them up in the next couple of days!
Hope you all have lovely valentines and if you're not in a couple then its just as good to celebrate that your not tomorrow, think of all the money you save!!
Anyways ta ra for now peeps

Things Recently Done and Seen...
Well let's see, I have been drawing alot and still learning watercolour. Also did one big paper painting on my wall the other day which is quite good but needs developing. Otherwise yes if i don't do some canvas painting today I'm going to slap myself!! Anyone who reads this is also allowed slap me (NOT i repeat NOT on the face or bum though!)
In terms of what i've gone to see, havn't had time nor much money to see shows but i did go to see whats been happening in the Tate Modern recently and wow ROTHKO is gone from his room and instead been replaced by http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/CollectionDisplays?venueid=2&roomid=6416 yes Agnes Martin, whose colours and subtleness is nice but not as affecting and such a contrast to what was there previously. Besides that I reawakened my interest in artists Asger Jorn and Jean Dubuffet, whose colours are just SO great whenever i see their work i do almost need to paint in order to function. Seriously, if you don't know these artists you should!!!
Other artists in the collection who I hadn't come across were Vanessa Bell and Dieter Roth, again both very pleasing on the eye but not so much so that you'd like to dash to your studio or Photography Lab.
In other news i did go to Vyner street for First Thursdays http://www.firstthursdays.co.uk/ and have a fun time and also see some very interesting work in the Empire Gallery http://www.theempirelondon.com/gallery-hire/.
Work by Cristina Lobo and Sam Mead were really interesting and amazing space, which hopefully i could show in this year!
Nettie Horn, again great space but work not SO good however funny and unusual in material use. Other Than all that i havn't been seeing much though my list is still to see Orozco, Miro (in april), Welcome trusts latest show and finally RA's latest, though i missed the Glasgow boys which was apparently very good :(
Right well thats my post for this time.
I have to upload some new work on my site soon for you to see!
Cheers

Pictures from my Rag Factory Group Show....
Yeah it was a good show but i did kind of feel it was slightly unorganised and even tho 13 of my friends!! (Including bf of course) came i felt it could have been more of a success! But hey only 2 days and got 3 reviews so mustv'e done something right!
Otherwise i look forward to my next show in May which is 7 small pieces being displayed for charity for people to buy cheaply!
I should make some small watercolours and frame them soon just for some cafes or bars.
we shall see but yeah thats mostly whats been happening in the art side life of Lauren Hanrahan. Soon to be pimping myself out more via submissions and gallery visiting!
Here are some photos of the show including me and my work :)
