My Painting Day...

I haven’t told you about my painting day at the SOTA Gallery a few weeks ago…

All went well, Jen and Andrew the gallery owners were great and all the visitors seemed to enjoy seeing how I go about painting a portrait. The Prime Minister, David Cameron visited to officially open the gallery and we had a bit of a chat about some of the portraits in the House of Commons and the portrait Jonathan Yeo had done of him. He then invited me up for a tour of the House of Commons, which should be fun :)

I didn’t make that much progress on Natasha’s portrait while I was there…too many interesting people to talk to. But I did manage to get all the outlines done and I started on some of the shadow colour in the afternoon. Lots more to do :)

Solo exhibition at SOTA

 

Here's the apple tree painting all framed up and ready for delivery to the gallery. It forms part of a solo exhibition I'm having at the SOTA gallery in Witney. The exhibition focuses on my 'forest' paintings, so sneaking this extra tree in felt right :-)

Here are a few prints that are going off to State of the Art gallery in Witney in the morning. They're also showing one of the original girl paintings along with a selection of the forest paintings...which are selling well...:-) they're open late tomorrow night for the switching on of the Christmas lights, so if you're in Witney call in and take a look :-)
