Accepted and sold.

 

Above: The Harley Gallery accepted BOTH of my submissions for their 2022 Open Exhibition. Well pleased.

UPDATE: Received notification, 21st September, that Plastic Pollution 2 (above top right) has sold. This means that both times I have applied to exhibit in this gallery I have been accepted and sold. And, both times the work had been praised on social media then rejected by the Patchings Art Centre.

UPDATE 2: 12th October. Went to see the exhibition with old schoolmate. Only to find another red dot on the wall, signifying the sale of the second plastic pollution painting. (Top left). Wow.

Losing the magic

 

I remember the exact moment when my childhood toy soldiers and self-made shoe-box Dodge City would no longer play for me. The magic had gone. Who would guess that such moments, when the magic disappears, would reoccur throughout life?

Merry Christmas.

 

The family Christmas tree always had a glass Santa (which aged with me), and a Christmas Fairy (which aged with my older sister). I thought it would be a good idea to design two new original characters, making ceramic Christmas gifts for my sisters and brother. The face masks are an obvious reference to the current pandemic.
