Our show starts this Friday in Bradford on Avon!

Only 4 days until the opening of our 3 days - show in Bradford on Avon!! For the last few weeks I've been busy framing, labelling, wrapping and packing paintings and prints. I'm so glad I have a studio for that, as I can't imagine doing it in the front room with my two littles curious cheeky monkeys touching everything!

Getting the frames ready

The joint show (Bob Child, Andrew Taylor and myself) will run for 3 days 6-8 October at the West Barn in Bradford on Avon (10 am till 5.30pm) and the three of us will be there the whole time.

I also wanted to invite my blog followers and readers to the private view of the show which will be held Friday 6 October 6-9pm. The venue is West Barn, Barton Farm in Bradford-on-Avon, BA15 1LF, a short walk from the train station.

There will be original oil and watercolour paintings for sale, alongside greeting cards, calendars and a large selection of giclée prints. Many paintings have been produced during our recent travels to South Africa, Portugal, France, Belgium or Scotland.

It would be lovely to see you there, have a chat, and show you our recent work!

Here is a little preview of what you can expect to see at the show:

Upcoming show!

I would like to invite you all to my Art show "Painting the seasons" that will run on the 4-5-6 October in Bradford-on-Avon with two other local painters (Andrew Taylor and Bob Child). Do come and say hello, we will be there for the three days. There will be plenty of original paintings on sale, and also a large selection of prints and postcards. Or just come to see a heavily pregnant woman that could possibly go into labour while hanging her paintings! (that's me!)

You are all welcome to join us during the preview evening reception which will be held the Friday 4 October 6-9pm. The three of us will be present and there will be drinks, nibbles and music and plenty of art for sale!

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.
