Marion at ‘Not the Royal Academy’

Marion says:

The Llewellyn Alexander Gallery accepted three pictures from me this year for their annual ‘Not the Royal Academy” exhibition, and when Jillian phoned to tell me which they had chosen, she made a point of saying “Oh, we want the London ones!”, so good news for us all, I guess!

The exhibition started on June 13th and my “Embankment” painting sold on the first day hurrah!  No news since then, but I’m still crossing my fingers for another sale (or two!) before the exhibition ends August 19th

Lightbox: originally used ‘Lighbox Gallery’ but the image numbers clashed with the titles.

Dec 2016. Changed to ‘Simple Lightbox’

Featured image size – has to look good on Home page. The height : width  ratio of these 6 images is 0.557. If the ratio is greater the image is cropped to make it narrower.  So always take a landscape image that’s not too skinny.

Nunhead Cemetry by Bill Aldridge

The selectors are two critics, two artists and two collectors. My ‘Nunhead Cemetery’ (below) was selected by Sacha Craddock, art critic for the Guardian. My other piece ‘Autumn leads to Spring’ (mounted on aluminium) was selected by Celia Imrie. The photo shows her choosing my painting!

This is the 25th year of Discerning Eye. There is always a very good selection of work, and everything is for sale. More info on www.discerningeye.org

Wendy Winfield in Pen and Ink

Nicky Sherrott writes:

Just thought to mention that some lovely examples of Wendy’s work appear in the recently published “Pen and Ink, contemporary artists, timeless techniques”, by James Hobbs: a compilation, in A5 format, of works by 35 artists, showing different styles, plus some text about each work. Well laid out – a pleasure and a help. Bravo, Wendy! One of her works was, I think, done on a Drawing London day out in Greenwich.
