It is time for another Art Swap. I have made my piece and I will fire it this week. If you have no idea what on earth I am talking about, just keep on reading.
David Pringle began Art swap, he says,
“I began this Art Swap on Twitter as a way for artists to share with and collect from their peers.
As artists, we often appreciate other artists’ work, but do not actively collect.
This is a way for us to give to others and collect beautiful art at the same time.“
I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of Art swap earlier on this year and I have enthusiastically joined up again.
Art swap began on twitter and I have made some friendships with Artists on the other side of the world because of the connections we made, talking about and swapping our Art.
This is the piece I received earlier on this year from Cat Salter (I still haven’t framed it, sorry Cat) Every time I look at it I smile and think of the English countryside. Cat and I regularly chat on twitter and I am this months featured artist on Cat’s Facebook page, ARTists supporting ARTists. I love the connections that can be made via twitter, both here in Hobart as well as all over the world.
This is the piece I sent off.
If you are an artist and would like to be involved just follow this link to David Pringle’s website.

Yay. I’m not an artist, but I love the idea. You should get Tiff to participate…she needs to think of her work as art too.
What a lovely way to share one’s work. Beautiful pieces, both yours and hers.
What a wonderful idea.
The painting you received is quintessentially the rolling English countryside. Simply gorgeous Kim – as was the piece you swapped of course.
What a lovely painting! And I like the piece you sent too.
I think encouraging Tiff to be part of this is a good idea too. Her amazing photography qualifies as art.
That is really cool. I don’t twitter. I am so uncool.

I don’t twitter but if anything inspired me to possibly do so this was an example of reasons why it would be a good idea. I love your blog, there is such diversity within, constantly surprised at links you give which give me a happy half an hour or so wondering away from the safe confines of my blogroll and testing the waters in such fascintating stuff. Such different artistes coming together across oceans and continents just inspiring. Thanks Kim.
I love your piece, weirdly I have a similar piece, well I think so anyhow, and will try to remember to post a photo of it as I think you may like it.
I adore this idea! I tried to sign up but the page wouldn’t open. It was fun seeing all those art pieces though! Can’t wait to see what you do this year 🙂
