I’ll be exhibiting once again over the Whit weekend with Derbyshire Open Arts. I’ll be based at the Gasworks Sudbury like last year. I’m wondering about doing a series of still lives perhaps loosely inspired by the early work of Patrick Heron. I need to do some smaller pieces for the exhibition, often a challenge for me as I tend to paint bigger pieces.
A few weeks ago I attended an appraisal event at the RBSA gallery in Birmingham. It was great meeting some of the members and other Friends and I got some really useful feedback on my work. The RBSA is a charity and the most amazing organisation as it relies hugely on volunteers in the main to run events. I’ve volunteered to steward once in a while!
In my last blog, I said I’d post my pieces I worked on for the Sutton Coldfield Arts Society demo; here’s one I’ve finished. The second one needs to dry before I apply a glaze.
