Adventure 2012: Private View

On Saturday afternoon we had the opening and private view of the Adventure art exhibition.

The exhibition was officially opened by Steve Alliston representing the Jubilee Initiative, the collection of charities to which commission on sales will be donated. There was a great turn out for the private view, with many friends and family attending.

  Adventure is open until 22nd December. We hope many of you will have a chance to stop by and have a look. We will post more pictures of the work in coming days.

Finally, from all of the other artists: a big “Thank You” to Sheri. Without her vision, enthusiasm and sheer hard work, this exhibition would never have happened.
 

Nearly all the artists. From left to right: Sheri Gee, Richard Wombell, Caryl Mann, Robert Meldrum, Kat Ferguson, Charlene Yates, Rebeka Lord, Fran Elliott, Alan Mathers, Chris West, Jenny Harvey. Missing: Jill Waldock and Lynn Warren.

Got the exhibition hung yesterday.  In the end was too busy to take many photos. Will try to post some more soon.

Richard - Painting of Kat

Back in the spring Kat, one of our London Road Group, volunteered to sit for one of our Saturday life drawing sessions. I liked the pose so worked it up into a finished picture. Oil on canvas, 60cmx80cm.

Richard - Winter Birches 2

I've been a bit remiss in posting work over recent months. With our exhibition fast approaching, I thought it would be a good idea to start posting pictures of some of the new work I'll be showing. This first is a set of pictures inspired by the trees in winter on Ashdown Forest.
