Appologies to anyone who looks at my blog - I have been sadly amiss and have not published last month. No real excuse 'cept my daughter's final show, London Graduate fashion week and a holiday with the girls. My girl got a first - I am so proud.
After Joe Cornish I got a couple of pieces in the Stockport Contemporary Open Art Exhibition but no prize or sale this time. I also had six pieces in a NPA exhibition in Todmorden and sold a hare. The gallery owner is very nice and I was very sad she got a flooded cellar when the rains hit Todmorden. Rosemary said she would take some hares if I made some more so I have got started - it is a charming gallery and I will get Anna to put a link on the web site. (An aside here - there is a wonderful fish and chip shop as you go into Tod - they cook in dripping!)
A doctor who saw my work last year at the RDA got in touch and bought 'Double Take'. Bless them - they were boxed up and sent south. I was delighted Alison remembered me and it certainly shows that this site works!
I have entered three pieces online for the Society of Wildlife Artists. Bit cheeky this I think as the member artists of this society are world class and most of the gallery has outstanding work by established and well known artists I would not even consider comparing myself to. Still if you don't try ....... and once the send button is clicked on a rioja influenced burst of false confidence there is not much you can do about it anyway. I had to justify there being twenty-four zebra in James' (son) room and there is a picture below of one of the entries.

Finally, this morning an email arrived from Becca with some fabulous paintings. I would love one of these and Joy, who was round for coffee, loved them too. A quick phone call and Becca has allowed me to publish a couple here. They are based on the sculpture she bought from me - Hare on the Moon.
