So we opened our exhibition Saturday, I didn't photograph the people as wanted you to be able to get an idea of what it looks like at the #stablestheatregallery in Hastings old town. Here are a few photos. #Blueskyart

#Blueskyart....

#Blueskyart a golden oldie,still makes me laugh 😃

#Blueskyart #corruptpoliticians what did people expect from this thoroughly irritating woman?, she married to a Tory advisor, bit of a give away...

##Blueskyart I'm so done with the constant rascism in the UK been fighting it since I was 17yrs old, wtf is wrong with people? it's the billionaires, media, banker's destroying our planet not people trying to escape the wars they started so they could make more money, greed out of control

#Blueskart 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

The White-backed Vulture (Gyps africanus) is classified as critically endangered. This is due to a rapid and severe population decline primarily driven by poisoning from diclofenac, a drug used in livestock.They are also victims of illegal trade.

The snake oil salesman got his way once - the result was a disaster. Don’t let him do it again

#blueskymonday scorchio here in St.Leonards on the East Coast nothing better than cold cider on a day like today!.

#Blueskyart.....genius and true

#Blueskyartshow #blueskyart #seasidepainting well it's almost there a few bits to do on the pebbles, shingle and the left hand lower clouds, should have it finished tomorrow which is a relief, never want to paint a shingle beach again. Oil on canvas 30cms x 40cms.

#blueskyart #punkdays #exclubber #livemusic So got a blurred photograph of me in 1981 unblurred, it made me actually tear up as I was convinced by comments all through my childhood that I was ugly, so wouldn't let people take my photograph, this is one of a handful. Don't listen to other people!

#Blueskyart #artexhibition So I will be exhibiting a painting in this members show but haven't decided which one yet!.

#Blueskymonday #somethingblue little fluffy white cloud against a beautiful blue summer sky, here in St.Leonards on sea, UK

#blueskyart #ryesocietyartists #artexhibition #oilpainting #flowerart So after finding out my "Roses of Portland Terrace" got into the Summer Exhibition I went and had a look. These are some of the other artists work, too many to show sadly.

#blueskyart #RSAsummerexhibition #oilpainting #flowerart So pleased to find out today that my "Portland Terrace Roses" is in the RSA Summer exhibition!. Always such a high standard of wonderful art so am made up my work got in!.

#Blueskyart #michealhardingoils #oilportraitartist #oilpainting A Work In Progress, so got the underpainting on and let it dry, spent the day starting to build up the colours and redefine details, looking more like Sonny now, enjoyed today, a few more layers and my commission is well on its way.

#Blueskyart This makes me so happy, Jeremy Corbyn wiping the floor with the Zionist liar, a real socialist who doesn't lie and does care....

#Blueskyart So nearly filled in the under painting but it's too wet to continue so will have to wait for it to dry now. Looking forward to doing the next layer, then the details. Work in Progress oil on Birchwood panel 23cms x 31cms.

#Blueskyart #portraitartist #michealhardingoils #portraitart So all my visitors have gone home and today is the 1st time since the 31st June where I can actually paint!. This is a commission from a returning customer, the 4th painting of family members, Sonny is the youngest. Oil on Birchwood.

#blueskyart enjoying seeing my daughter and grandson.

##Blueskyart #seascape #localarea #artist ##oilpainting So managed to squeeze in an hour off painting today, so good to get back in my art room, was lovely having my friend stay but she had this room!, obviously cleared of paint etc. Hope fully do some more tomorrow. 😊😍

#Blueskyart #wildflowers #flowers #eastcoastuk So a few snaps of around where I live. I had a wisdom tooth pulled out today so not feeling the best as had an abcess too, first time for me hopefully the last! More visitors coming, no rest for the wicked.🤣😂

#Blueskyart #ThirdWorld #reggae So last night with my bestie we went and saw the amazing Third World at a concert down the road from me, last time I saw them was 1979/1981 and they didn't disappoint, fabulous band. Saw my friend off back to Wales this morning 🌄

#Blueskyart #flowers #summer2025 Socenjoying spending time with my best friend over from Wales, beautiful day today in our park, Hollyhocks looking fabulous 👌

#Blueskyart #PIL On my 5 day break with my bestie Pam we went and saw John, thinking he would be well past his sell by date. How very wrong we were, the lungs on this dude are phenomenal, superb gig, clothes and attitude, musicians top notch too. Totally blown away, go see them b4 it's 2 late.

#BlueSkyArt simple

Fabulous sketch by Oliver

#Windowsonwednesday #Blueskyart #blackandwhitephotography #hastingsart window at my new flat, they're huge but the light is incredible on a sunny day.

My kind of painting, beautiful colours, warmth and a kind of normality to it, stunning, makes me miss painting the wonderful people of Ireland as I did 33yrs ago.

#Blueskyartshow Narrow beam of sunlight on the Green Alcanet. This is oil on birchwood panel 23cms x 31cms #flowerart #contemporaryart #oilpainting #portraitartist #flowerartist #everydayartist

#Blueskyart #fridayart #portraitart #acrylicart #dogswelove So this is a memory from Facebook and is the reason why I love painting portraits of every day people. I don't have access to beautiful models or wealthy people like traditional portrait artists, this makes what I do worth it.

#Blueskyart #seasideart #beachart #hmcanvases #michealhardingoils So started my 1st painting in our new flat, I have a commission to do but wanted to warm my skills up before doing it as haven't painted anything for weeks!. So a simple beach scene from down the road, here in St.Leonards on Sea.

So beautiful

#Blueskyart #supernaturalart #artgallerystablestheatrehastings #ravenart so these two will be on show here in Hastings. I'm a huge corvid fan and have reared Magpies, Jackdaws, crows and a Rook in the past, never had a Raven though. Aberwyswth churchyard and the Tower of London in the backgrounds.
