Three Wessex Sketchers show

Here are a few pictures of the show "Three Wessex Sketchers" that was held at the Barton farm in Bradford on Avon last week-end with landscape paintings from Bob Child, Andrew Taylor and myself. We had such a great time and an overwhelming number of visitors (over 750 in 3 days!). It was very successful, may red dots and great feedbacks - I can't wait to do it again very soon!

Fellow painter Tim King made the journey from Oxford to attend the show
and even bought my painting of the Old Harry Rocks (he was painting next to me while
I was painting this one in Dorset a few months ago)


Thanks to everybody who could make it. If you missed the show and want to have a closer look at my paintings and prints don't hesitate to contact me and I'll send you a list of the paintings still available.

  2. Valerie,
    Congratulations on the red dots. Your work is really appealing, so no surprise you sold. How many paintings did you have in the show. The art looks really great from all three of you.
    Well Done and Continued Success.

    1. Thanks Douglas! I had around 25 paintings framed plus a selection of paintings unframed and also various prints and postcards. Andrew had probably around 20 paintings too and Bob around 15. Wish you could have been here! Maybe one day :-) Hope all is good for you. Valérie

    1. Hi Karl! Thanks for the comment. Looking forward to meeting you and painting with you too. I'm planning to go to Venice indeed but waiting a bit more before fully committing. Hopefully see you there or during a plein air society day out before that. Loving your latest facebook painting posts by the way. Valérie
