I have two works up for auction at this year’s Art on a Postcard, with proceeds going to The Hepatitis C Trust.
Of course I can’t post an image, as it’s a secret auction – but you can see all the lots up for sale here!
A worthy cause, and some fabulous artwork.
I’ve work in two shows at the moment:
My painting ‘Berg’ is showing at ‘Ice’ at Comar, in Tobermory, Isle of Mull.
‘Berg’, oil, acrylic and pastel on board, 45 cm x 45 cm
– and two new pictures are showing at Dunoon Burgh Hall‘s Pop-Up Shop’s show ‘Stravaigin’, as part of Cowalfest.
I’m delighted to have a small work – Souvenir Island – in Europa, at Transition Gallery, London. Preview tonight, opening from the 17th.
