Bath Society of Artists summer show

I just wanted to share my joy with everybody because I just found out my two entries have been selected for the Bath Society of Artists summer show. I have never had both entries accepted at the same time so it was a pleasant surprise. Here are the two paintings below:

Sheep near Horsey, Norfolk  10"x12"  oil on board

Morning hot air balloon ride - Bradford-on-Avon fields  10"x8" oil on board 

The show runs from 16 May until 27 June at the Victoria Art Gallery in Bath. There is always a great selection of work there (and I'm not saying this because I'm in!) so I recommend you try to make a visit. Click on the link below for more info:

I will come at the preview reception this Friday so maybe see you there!

Pulteney Bridge, sunshine between the clouds

I've just finished a little painting of Pulteney Bridge in Bath for a commission. I gave it to the lady a couple of days ago and she was very happy with it which is always a relief;)

I got the frame from the Meltone Gallery in Bath which is for me the best place for frames.

Still in the Bath topic, I'm very glad to announce that I got a painting selected for the Bath Society of Artists 106th Annual Exhibition at the Victoria Art Gallery.  As a non member you never know if you will get in or not so it was a nice surprise to see my application form with the so exciting "selected" stamp on it. Also, it kind of makes up for the parking ticket I got as I was queuing to drop my painting!

The painting that got accepted is the one below which was painted on location just a short walk from where I live alongside the river Avon. (see my post on the 4th of April)

Reflections on the river, Bath    oil on board   12"x10"

They have some great work there so I would recommend it for anybody visiting Bath.

The show on the preview night on Friday - it was packed!

Me below my painting (middle top) -
it was hard to get both on the same shot as it is placed pretty high!
- not complaining though;)
