Spring!

My favourite time of year, it’s been a slow start but there is lots going on in the next month or two with fast approaching exhibitions in my mind. I have had a painting accepted in the first round of the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition so I am hopeful that it doesn’t get culled in the next round!

I have just visited the Ditchling Arts and Crafts Museum in Sussex. What a gem! A very interesting exhibition of Craft pottery by Shoji Hamada, a contemporary of Richard Leach and also some woven textiles on display, small but beautiful sums up this museum, well displayed and in a charming rural village I found it inspirational. I am working on various nature inspired paintings at present, both oils and watercolours which will be in The Dorking Group of Artists Spring exhibition 27th April to 1st May at Betchworth Village Hall.
