Thank you, @sailorsjail Gallery and Falmouth it’s been a truly remarkable memorable and magical time.

As you may know, my lovely daughter @elliott_schmid_art and I have had a joint exhibition at the Sailors Jail Gallery in Falmouth. We’ve just finished there, and I’m back home looking at some of the memories. Hope you enjoy this little glimpse into our life.

Thank you again the the lovely Katy at Sailors Jail for hosting us and making us feel so welcome. If you’re in the Falmouth area do call into this wonderful Gallery it’s quite special and very unique.

Just letting you know what’s next on the easels…

Just letting you know what’s next on the easels…

this series of paintings is currently on show at the Sailors Jail Gallery in Falmouth until the end of the month.

They are painted with ground bronze and acrylic on canvas and board. These paintings are invitations. Openings.
These paintings are not just images to look at—they’re quiet companions, invitations to pause, soften, and return to yourself.
Each one carries a particular field of presence, shaped through stillness, memory, and joy.
They don’t shout for attention, but gently shift the energy of a space—opening something subtle in the room, and often something deeper in the viewer.
They’re for those who feel the world a little more tenderly, who listen between things, and who are drawn to beauty that doesn’t explain itself, but simply holds. If you’ve found your way here, one may be waiting for you.

Laugh & Hold the Holy

bronze & acrylic on canvas
framed
56 x 56cm
£495

This small but spirited piece seems to have wandered in from another dimension—part guardian, part joyful mischief-maker. A winged figure stands surrounded by bursts of color like petals or party streamers, as if it just landed at the celebration and hasn’t yet told anyone it’s an angel.

The phrase “laugh and hold the holy” came during painting, like a wink from something wiser. It felt like a reminder: that we can meet the sacred not just in silence or stillness, but in bright color, strange shapes, and unexpected joy. That the holy doesn’t mind a bit of a mess, and sometimes even prefers it.

This painting asks nothing from you except your gaze and maybe a smile.

On show and available from @sailorsjail gallery, Falmouth until 31st July

Pause
bronze & acrylic on canvas board
Vintage frame
45 x 55cm
£595

A smaller painting with a steady voice. A dark hill, five slender trees, and a hush of mist that feels like breath. There’s nothing dramatic here—and yet something stirs. The kind of quiet that only comes when you're in the presence of something old, kind, and utterly alive.
This piece doesn’t offer answers.
It offers a place to pause.

Bronze and mixed media on canvas.
150 x 120cm.
£1111

This painting feels like guardianship, but not in the earthy, grounded way. It feels less like an animal and more like a sentinel.
It exists in presence—and reminds us how to do the same.
It's one to sit near, and feel what calibrates.

On show and available until July 31st from @sailorsjail gallery in Falmouth

sirius
bronze & acrylic on canvas
unframed
100 x 100cm
£995

There are forms that come not from the mind, but from somewhere beyond remembering—shapes that arrive whole, golden, and still humming with the frequencies of their origin. This figure came in such a way.
Painted in one sitting, it held the vibration of Sirius from the beginning—the ancient “bright one,” long regarded by many cultures as a celestial teacher. The form emerged not as an animal or symbol, but as a presence: part guardian, part messenger. Its posture speaks of calm vigilance. Its golden skin feels lit from within, like it carries its own sun. The single luminous point nearby—perhaps a second sun, or simply a reminder that not all light is seen directly.
Some may see a dog, deer, or mythic creature. All responses are welcome. My role was simply to say yes …..and hold the brush.

⭐️It’s been a wonderful few months leading up to this next show. Although I’ve been really really excited about it, I’ve had to keep a lot of it in the background because there have been other things going on that I wanted to show you too!

Now I can finally reveal what’s happening. I’m going to be having a joint show with my daughter Chloe Elliott-Schmid Art at the inspiring Sailors Jail Gallery in Falmouth.

It’s on from the 19th to the 31st of July and open every day. I’ll be sending out an email preview of these paintings by the end of the week.

➡️DM me if you’d like to get on the list.

These paintings are done on board and canvas some are 20 cm and some are up to 150 cm. I’ve been really loving the opportunity to work large and have a couple of shows coming up next year that I can really extend into this further.

These paintings are pretty unique as they’re painted with acrylic paint and metals. I’m using ground bronze pigment in these and I love exploring the effects that this gives.

It’s been a wonderful couple of weeks at the Guildhall Cardigan thank you all for your support and interest online and in person, it was so good to see so many people face-to-face and chat with you.

So for me today, a relaxing start before unpacking the van, sorting everything out and then starting to repack for our next show of all new work at Sailor’s Jail down in Falmouth which starts Friday next week.

Before that, I’m going to call-in and see Jess at Oriel Cardi Bach in Cardigan to deliver paintings for a new group show there.

But for today, I’m going to admire the roses, walk the dog and go for a swim this evening. Heaven

Thanks again to all for your love of the paintings. ❤️

You know I said that as part of our summer show, I’d releasing 13 small original paintings over 13 days - well, this one ain’t so small!
It’s a whopping 100 x 80cm

This painting has been on the go since last autumn in my studio.
It is of the cliff path walk between Aberporth and Tresaith.
I hope you can see all the little details that make that walk so wonderful.
Thanks to everybody who said that it needed dolphins - I agree and they are as well as few fish of course because - no fish no dolphins!

I’ve been adding the finishing touches to it this last week, during Chloe and my show at the Guildhall Cardigan - which is on each day until Saturday 12th July.

Prints are available to order - ask in the gallery, message me or have a look at my website.

Happy weekend y'all xx

From the Edge of the Earth – Inspiration from Brittany 🌊

Spending time sketching in Finistère, Brittany again — a place of wild coastlines, ancient stones, and deep resilience. From the scars of history and ecological tragedy, beauty has bloomed here in the most unexpected, tranquil ways.

I’m bringing these impressions back to the studio with me, where they'll inspire a new series of paintings.
Can’t wait to share more with you soon.

Some of the sketches are available now on my website - have a look. https://www.helenelliott.net/shop-2

Under the same moon

Soul soothing, sunny, satisfying. Yet - a place of war and disaster. Occupied during WW2 and in 1978 ecologically devastated by the Amoco Cadiz oil spill. And now - heaven.
Whilst painting here the phrase comes to mind ‘a rising tide floats all boats’. So have faith my friends, find what soothes your soul and look for the light.

Whilst painting here the phrase comes to mind ‘a rising tide floats all boats’. So have faith my friends, find what soothes your soul and look for the light.

Thought for today…

When the energy is there for something really good, but the habit is to block and doubt it. The trick for me is to take a walk gently think about the resistance, and think about the excitement and the energy of the new project, and focus gently on giving prevalence to the excitement of the new project and not the resistance from old habits.

Does this resonate?

PS Spot the non-sacral (projector) being trying to show excitement LOL!

✨ Out in the Wolds, I've been walking with ink and paper — letting the land draw through me.

There's something about standing in the path, not just observing it, that changes the way I see it. This sketch came from that moment. A crossroads. Trusting intuition, letting go of trying to "get it right."

I’m back in the studio now, but the fields are still with me. The wind, the birdsong, the old tracks underfoot — they’re in my heart now.

This new series is growing from that place. Wild. Rooted. Quietly alive.

Still absorbing .... no painting yet, but this is the real work - before the paint even gets out of the tube.

🌿 Walking as Practice
Each step lately has felt like a soft arrival. No rush, no endpoint — just the rhythm of the land underfoot, and the quiet company of nature.

I’ve been walking the old paths through the Yorkshire Wolds, letting them work their slow magic. The fields, the skies, the simple act of following where the track leads — it’s been gently rewiring something inside me.

This is where the next body of paintings begins. Not in the studio, but in the soil. In stillness. In sanctuary.
