My painting ?Aurelia?s Dress? has been shortlisted for the National Open Art Show which takes place in London in the autumn. It has got through to the last 500 from about 4,500 so I?m really pleased about that anyway as they only pick about 100 for the actual show. They have also got a ?World Art Vote? (open til the end of August) where the shortlisted painting with the most votes gets shown even if not selected by the judges for the final show so I am trying to use social media to engage with as many people as possible. Although I have Instagram and Twitter accounts I don't use them much and don't want to do the wrong thing. If anyone has time to take a look at what I've tried to do so far on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook with suggestions of how to get more exposure,and also what NOT to do, that would be great.

I'm very happy to receive any constructive advice!


First, here is the link to the 'world vote' which also shows the painting

And my facebook page ? I?ve just paid ?15 for a ?sponsored ad? but not sure if it will help https://www.facebook.com/Studio.SE22

Looking forward to hearing from anyone who knows more than me!!

Hi Minitoots

no direct advice, but a friend of mine who is a brilliant coach to creative people told me about this event on social media: https://www.besmartaboutart.com/event/247/social-media-for-creative-professionals - I know it's short notice but they also might have other resources that might help?

best of luck!

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
