Another highlight of the weekend was meeting Katy Lynch who is the winner of the competition in Dales Life Magazine. 3300 people from all around the country entered the competition to win one of my original paintings and Katy was able to travel to the Priory to be presented with her prize. I am very happy to know that Miss Masham has found a lovely new home and I have met a new friend who shares my sense of humour.
This weekend's Priory Arts Exhibition was a great success and an opportunity to meet new friends and catch up with old friends that I haven't seen for ages. The show looked stunning with the work of 8 other fellow artists sitting alongside my latest canvases. Sculptures, textiles, ceramics, prints and paintings in the beautiful setting of Syningthwaite Priory. I am soooo lucky to have my studio here and to be able to come and be inspired by the view across the fields every day, and to have a gallery space just across the gardens is, as my kids would say 'GOLD".
The paint brushes are in the sink, and the framing begins ! As usual I am cutting it fine , but I am thrilled with how things are looking 10 new paintings including two big beauties ready to be introduced at the Priory Arts Exhibition opening on Friday morning at 10 a.m. through until closing on Sunday at 4 p.m. Several of the other artists came yesterday to bring their work and it was like Christmas all over again opening up the bubble wrap to take a peak at their lovely work. The show is going to look FAB! For more information take a look at the events page on my website.
The colours are bright and beautiful, paint brushes are flying and the music is turned up loud . I am having a ball! I have 12 new originals waiting to show their faces, several of them will be exhibited at the 'Art in the Priory' exhibition which is to be held in the Priory Barn, a fantastic venue, near Walton, near Wetherby. You can find out more about it at www.priory-arts.com. I shall be releasing images of the new work on the website on the morning of 20th January to coincide with the opening of the exhibition. Do pop back and take a look, or better still come and see me at the exhibition it would be great to meet you. : 0)
