Hi, I'm Peter Smith and you can meet me and my wife Jayne at Castle Galleries, Chester tomorrow the 10th November between 12-3pm for the first of the free Christmas With The Impossimals event. Meeting artists can be awkward, they are normaly covered in paint and act strange so to soften the shocking blow here is a few facts about myself without mentioning the colour black.
I have a pelican that helps me mix colours. Here Derek helps me mix a deep blue using his beak as a handy tube squeezer, he can often be found mixing various concoctions around the studio and snacking on sardines. Occasionally he will paint the Impossimals with me using a foot wing combination allowing for dramatic feather led brush strokes. Derek, unfortunately will not be at Chester tomorrow, he's painting a portrait of president Obama for the White House.
Timothy is my odd job Tapir, he finds objects for me to use in my creations, he was especially useful in creating my most famous installation 'iSpy Plastic Eye' a collection of eight carefully crafted eyes laid out in the shape of a shape emphasising the shape's shape like quality.
Timothy is shy and although he has allowed me to use the photograph of the installation he helped me with he will unfortunately not be with us in Chester.
I once painted a grumpy cat on the side of a horse, everything was fine until Neil, the horse decided to visit the zoo. An irate tiger thought it was a portrait of him and the very next day I was mauled in my studio.
He has since apologised and replaced my bloodstained smock and hat. He spends his time out in the garden playing with Neil. Unfortunately both Neil and Stan the tiger will be unavailable this weekend due to holiday commitments so will not be joining us at the Chester appearance.
So sorry for that, for this opening event at Castle Galleries, Chester you only get me and Jayne and not the chance of a mauling or indeed a chance to share mixing tips with Derek. We will however attempt to keep you entertained with plenty of Impossimals, a cracking original, two oil sketches and of course booze.
All welcome, see you tomorrow!
