Planning exhibitionsThis week I met up with my fellow artist at the Control Tower at Greenham, we are having a joint exhibition there during West Berkshire & North Hampshire open studios 7th-20th May. More exhibitions are planned along with entries to open exhibitions.

The exhibition looked very good, the room was a lovely light white space and our paintings looked very good. Lots of footfall and entertaining chats but no big sales, sold lots of cards a new venture which looks very promising.

I have just returned from hanging paintings on stand 29 of the Contemporary Art Fair Newbury. Private view this evening.
The fair was not very busy and was a little disappointing but I spoke to lots of friendly people who admired my paintings and make complimentary remarks' handed out masses of cards and made modest sales. Other artists liked the paintings which is encouraging!
Busy week coming up paintings to deliver to two exhibitions in Newbury for the West Berkshire & North Hampshire Open Studios event..

Planning ahead.
20/06/2021
I am planning for next year in the hope that the situation will be a little more normal. Next year is going to be ambitious, I submitted to Contemporary Art Fairs to be an exhibitor and I have been positively confirmed. So next year I will be exhibiting at my first art fair which is held at Newbury racecourse in one of the stands. This year I am helping a friend so I can see how the system works. It will be really exciting, and I am looking forward to taking part tremendously.Proteus exhibition confirmed

15/08/2020
this week has been unusually hot. The studio was so hot I moved the easel outside so I could carry on painting for a while. The mornings were O.K but after lunch the windows which face south so I can look down the garden heated up the studio like an oven.Now on Saturday the temperature has dropped dramatically, and it's humid and overcast. Along with the other participants I should be looking forward to Open Studios but alas the virus has intervened.Once More Towards the Island
