thank you Sue, Its great you think my paintings looked relaxed because thats part of the intended effect, although at the moment thinking about my show is definitely not relaxing!
Ah just catching up. You have been busy! Such lovely soft colours. I've been outside all morning heaving hay bales in the scorchio scorchio so your restful paintings have calmed me down :) hope you made loads of sales. I would be more than happy to have the cow parsley on my wall.
I've been manning the exhibition in the scorchio scorchio, the gallery is lots of south facing glass and no shade. The cow parsley painting you liked has, with a few others been sold but I think we were competing with Andy Murray, the British & Irish Lions and many expeditions out of hot London because the weekend was very quiet at the show. Looking forward to having a proper look at your wild flower pictures . . . . and the cows of course!
Its quite a good deal - £125 per week rent plus 25% on gallery sales. There is a credit card facility but the owner expects the artist to take care of most of the publicity and the private view. I wish there were more affordable galleries for hire like this, in good situations of course. Getting some passing trade is important otherwise everything goes on your own contacts. My advice for anyone showing there is avoid heat waves and the Andy Murray effect.
Wow-nice! I sure wish I could see that.
ReplyDeleteI've always admired your style of painting--so "soft" and relaxed. Congrats

DeleteI know that gallery it's great but I can imagine hot! Been trying to persuade a friend of mine to show there...how much is it to rent.?
