Latest News June/July 2011 In today’s uncertain financial climate, sales have not been so good – let’s face it there are more important things to spend your hard earned cash on, than paintings! I’ve not done too badly though, and have sold around 30 over the last three years – many of these have been commissions, of houses, dogs and cats. I’ve kept my love of wildlife, and last year, for Winchester Art Club’s Annual Exhibition at the Discovery Centre, I not only produced one of my biggest pastels to date (The Prince) but it was voted “Best in Show” by the visiting public, and I sold it to boot!!! In addition, another of my pieces (White Horses) was included in the advertising poster for the Exhibition. On the downside, someone obviously wanted one of my paintings so badly (White Tiger Portrait) – they stole it!!! This was a most upsetting experience, but after a couple of months, I decided to try and replicate it. I felt that the second one was nowhere near as good as the original, however, I was delighted when it sold. I’m still Chair of the Fair Oak Art & Craft Society, but I’ve managed to offload the Chairmanship of the Itchen Countryside & Wildlife Art Club, and the role of Exhibition Secretary, so now I’m just the Hon Sec. (Seem to be just as busy, though!) Both clubs are continuing to go well, with Fair Oak having its best exhibition yet in November 2010, at the Village Hall where we meet, and we are just about to close a month-long Exhibition at Eastleigh’s Museum Gallery. I’m also doing a lot more tuition and demonstrating – which is a little nerve racking! In 2009, I joined some friends for a 4-day painting holiday in Avignon, France, which was marvellous, and in September 2011, most of those who went to Avignon are going for a week in Skiathos, one of the smaller Greek Islands – something to look forward to!!!
At most of the exhibitions I enter, the visiting public are asked to vote
for their favourite exhibit. I was thrilled when eight of my paintings
received this accolade, one even won at two different shows!
