So the first event in my Autumn/Winter calendar for this year got off to a flying start – guest judge Jamie Sinclair awarded me Second prize at the preview evening of Fareham Art Group’s annual exhibition for my painting ‘Monochrome Minis. What made it even more special, is that there were 270 pieces in the exhibition, and my partner and parents were also in attendance. One proud little artist!
As if this wasn’t good enough, when the exhibition finished I discovered that I had also sold the painting – my first sale from a public exhibition, and not only that but I was also the winner of the public vote for their favourite painting (just!) Considering the amount of talent on display it’s fair to say that I am pretty thrilled as you can probably see below.
No rest for the wicked now though – two more paintings have already been dropped off to the Ashcroft Art Centre in Fareham today for their open art exhibition starting next week (7th November).
AND finally – a small plug for my Christmas cards now available on the store 😉
