One of the services I provide is to bring work over to try on your wall. It may be that I can imagine how fab it will look, but my clients often need to see it in situ - something I totally get. These works were from Rebecca's first show with us @surfaceica. We are currently showing more of her work at Spirit of Christmas so if you would like me to come and try some on your wall just shout. .

Be bold! These are two of my favourite paintings but they no longer belong to me. They were on their way to Battersea Affordable Art Fair, but took a detour to a gorgeous house in Balham & now hang on the wall of a couple who - with the help of @louisawarfield_artconsultancy - took a deep breath & went BIG. Twice! The Wonder & As far as the eye can see weren’t painted as a diptych, but they look amazing together. They fill the wall & make a bold statement because of their size, but their subtle colours prevent them from dominating the space. I’ll miss them, but I’m not sure they could have asked for a better home 😊

My jaw dropped when I discovered the absolutely beautiful work of Billy Showell's. This is a watercolour - some of the finest work I have ever seen in this medium. We are delighted to be showing Billy's work this weekend at Spirit of Christmas. This piece called 'The Dressmakers Flowers' comes as a print (perfect for a Christmas present) or the original. Either are beautiful but I can't help but think Whoever nabs the original is going to be one very lucky ducky indeed. Pure class.

Absolutely loved these two paintings. I can feel that wierd hard softness of those plastic chairs coming straight at me. Something fabulously artifical about their extremely particular colour that they had. I found chairs like that comforting and menacing all at the same time. I suspect we had smaller versions at my primary school! 😩😂

Had a delivery of work today for a show I am doing next week @surfaceica - these works are by an artist I have worked with for more years than I care to admit. Her work is so beautiful (gesso, water floated silver gilt and then ink, pastel and varnishes over that) and I was so blown away by these two works that I had to get them up on the wall for a couple of days before I take them to the show. Shout if you'd like to come and look in person. .

Look at these two art beauties!!!! Hanging out at the show Olafur Eliasson at Tate Modern. I wrote a blog piece about this show and today's experience underlined my position on this even more. Even this pair said 'Great for selfies Mum, but what is the art actually about'. But if you can't beat em.......

How better to tell everyone I have dyed my hair silvery blue (winter palette) than by inadvertently dressing to match a painting you also LOVE. Fab private view at The Newington Galllery last night - there are some cracking paintings here - go see. .

Cut and Paste 400 years of Collage @natgalleriessco is a cracker. Even more so for this fab Pat Douthwaite work - one of my all time favourite Scottish artists. Titled 'Happiness is Green Shield Stamps' I couldn't agree more. I used to love how they would print out the machine, how the perforations would tear, how they tasted when you stuck them in and how satisfying it would be as your book filled up through the year towards Christmas. Simple pleasures. .

Did anyone else have their first ever girl crush on Wonder Woman?!!! I didn't realise it at the time but she was my first ever female role model. Thanks to this brilliant print by @amy_gardner_artist_ I've learnt that it was not only Lynda Carter we should have had the crush on her stunt double too. I absolutely adore this print 'Behind Every Strong Woman....' - it totally sums up the last few years for me. It's been my girlfriends and the women in my life who have been there for me and I am immensely grateful to them for that. They have carried me through and put the other side of some very interesting er 'stunts' 😂😂😂😘. Spotted at @artichokeprintworkshop at AAF last night!

I first met Moyra when we worked as innovation consultants on various marketing projects. She's gone on since to be a life coach, yoga teacher and all round feminist empowerer and the moment I saw this I thought 'THAT IS ABSOLUTELY BLOODY BRILLIANT! Called Be Your Own Icon you can go on a course with Moyra and paint yourself with the help of Moyra coaching you through the process both artistically and spiritually. Reviews on her website suggest it is a very special day indeed. There is a course running in Brighton but If there is enough interest I would be happy to host a workshop here in London and Moyra can come up and do it for us!

Today is World Mental Health Day. Mental health problems hit almost everyone at some point in a life time. For me it’s been depression, most of the time I wasn’t really aware that anything was wrong, it just felt like nothing was right. I’ve been so lucky to have friends that helped me, at times they didn’t even know they were, little kindnesses can keep people afloat. Love is a verb ❤️ #worldmentalhealthday #unskilledworker

Wowsers. I honestly think this is one of the coolest art placements I have seen in a long time. Huge thanks to the wonderful Anna, head of housekeeping @thenewt for the tour of the hotel, rooms and outbuilding suites. 🙏. Congratulations to @nickydobreeinteriordesign for an utterly jaw dropping project. If you have an interior or hotel project that you need art curating for this is what I do. .

I know really you are meant to say 'I love Frieze' or 'oooh I bought my clients so many things at Frieze' but honestly truly I go year after year and get overwhelmed (mostly), fail to understand half of what I see and come out feeling whether I really know anything about anything after all. Thank goodness therefore for this glorious booth from @frithstreetgallery. A stunning ceramic group from Daniel Silver and a beautiful (now sold) painting by Callum Innes. These I 'got'. These I loved and these are the kind of works I would joyously place with clients. .

So delighted to show my third edition of Art Above The Fireplace from my friend Mangi @yuichirokikuma. I first met Mangi when I bought one of his paintings at his BA degree show many many moons ago. I still adore that painting (more of that another day but you can see that in the second pic) and it hangs opposite my fireplace. I've followed Mangi over the last decade (😬), through his MA and now out the other side and when I saw his latest, contemplative, beautiful, restful and intoxicating body of work I knew I wanted this piece above the fireplace. It's amazing having both paintings sit opposite each other. Both totally different but from the same person. A lesson in how much one can change, how life can change you, in 10 years if ever there was one. This work is for sale DM me for details.

I honestly cannot remember how I found this artist. But I absolutely love this duck. It's the swirling of the paint that gets me. Quack quack.

Visiting Carol Robertson's studio last night and hearing her talk about her work and practice was pretty much as good as it gets as an art consultant. I have adored Robertson's work since being lucky enough to be invited to a gallery supper at Flowers Gallery (many moons ago now) surrounded by her work on the gallery walls which pulsated, gently glowed or did a little shimmery wink out of the corner of my eye depending on the light. To hear Robertson talk about the work though was something else. I never realised these are paintings painted from memories of places (this one of a cupola in a church in Sienna), of emotions and sometimes, of the shedding of ego and finding a transcendental state of zen. No wonder they talk at you from the wall. Now I understand why - these are not paintings that not only explore colour, form and geometry. These are paintings that deal with people, with places and with things. Joyous. .

Art tours from @ritterflorence remain one of my favourite things to do. Here is an important #Repost from her. Frieze remains horribly, dreadfully exclusive and unattainable to visit for a lot of people - this is a totally brilliant effort from @waddingtoncustot. 👊
・・・
Art students who would like to come to frieze masters but can’t afford to? @waddingtoncustot are supporting art students to access the fair. All you need to do is come to visit our #PatrickCaulfield show with your student card ;) see ya there !

Them (new requested follower) : "I was wondering if you could give me some advice on a piece of art".
Me: (thinking they needed to buy some) "Sure. What do you need."
Them: (sending me pic). "I was wondering if you knew how I could improve this?"
Me: (tiny, micro second pause): "It's adorable. And perfect. I'd focus on a new duvet cover if it was me. Because brown makes me look sallow."
Them "haha thank you"
So there you have it. Another happy customer. Art advice from Louisa Warfield Art Consultancy - it's just as much about the context as it is about the work. And I love deer. Esp blue ones painted in bed. Walt Disney had better watch out. Piercing eyes.

I've had some wildly fascinating (and sometimes shocking) chats over the last week about the relationship of (some) artists with (some) of their gallerists. From (unnamed) galleries not paying thousands of pounds in sales to the artists, to others creating ponzi schemes of 'art investment portfolios', to others being, well, (not my words), just a bunch of wankers - I couldn't help but post this brilliant piece from Enzo Marra who kindly emailed me this week to introduce his work to me. Marra is a man after my own heart - both in the art world himself but preferring to sit outside it too and independently observe it: 'I have been occupied with how the artworld can be seen from the insiders and the outsiders point of view, the valuing of artworks and their auctioning, the processes and activities that occur behind the privacy of studio doors, the hanging and display of works animated by the commodified space of the gallery'. This piece is called 'Inner Voice'. One for some of you artists out there.

This has been an amazing show meeting lots of lovely people, many of whom have said incredibly complimentary things. Thanks too to everyone for their kind advice and generosity with their time and passing on their knowledge. I feel totally excited about where I will take my business next - this show has been incredibly affirming and has confirmed that I have a lot of skills and knowledge to offer the interior design world. A new business strategy has been developed off the back off this show and I am incredibly grateful to everyone I've talked to that has helped get me to that place. Watch this space 👊👊👊👊🔥

Stunning stand by this lovely lady @louisawarfield_artconsultancy
Loved the artwork and the matching furniture... very cool and gorgeous colours 🖤💗 I’d say she knows what she’s doing 💫

Lovely to meet you and have a chat Louisa. I see we already have some mutual IG friends so hopefully we’ll bump into each other sometime soon 😊

I've collected Sarah Ball's work for more years than I care to admit and I consider it a real honour to be able to show her work here @100percentdesign. Sarah has recently had a sell out show with Joe and his team @animamundigallery - many of my clients getting work ahead of the curve and some of the ones that didn't believe me that they needed to move quick feeling a bit sad. These two works are currently being thought about seriously by a couple of clients but DM me if you want to go on the 'I love them' list.
