The Penzance Studios Spring Exhibition has been extended until May 16th. I am pleased to say I had my fourth sale of the year there. I haven't managed to register a sale at the Penwith Gallery Associate Members show this time round though, after ringing up two sales there earlier in the year. That show ends on May 2nd but I now have two paintings in the St Ives Society of Artists Spring Open [see below] until June 19th. If you are in West Cornwall or visiting this month pop in and see the shows.

Plenty of Spring activity in West Penwith. The Penwith Gallery Associate Members show opened yesterday evening. I have the painting below in that. I'm hoping for a repeat of the two sales I had there in the last exhibition [at the very least]. I couldn't attend the opening as I was helping bottle beer at the Men-An-Tol brewhouse and Taproom!

The St. Ives Arts Club Easter Exhibition opens today, which I have two paintings in, as does the Penzance Studios Spring exhibition, which I have three works in. I'll be at the opening of this one between 4-7.00. It's in the Wharfside Shopping Centre and we have been turning the empty New Look into a gallery for the past week. Some works in progress shots below. This is the fourth empty unit we have taken over and exhibited in over the past couple of years, the previous three now have businesses back in them.

I'm happy to say that the work I had accepted for the Penwith Gallery Associate Members show has sold and I have replace it with this one.

I have optimistically entered these two paintings to this years RA Summer Exhibition as well.

I am very happy to say I have had this new painting, the first of the year, accepted for the Penwith Gallery Associate Members Exhibition. It opens, with a Private View at 5.30 - 7.30, on January 23rd and runs until February 21st. The piece is called Quayside and is acrylic on MDF.

I'm happy to say that Dodecophany sold at the PZ Studios Summer Exhibition at Penzance School of Art. Still three more shows to come this year and possible two others and I already have one in the diary for 2026. I will be exhibiting with Martha Winter and Karen Foss at the Salthouse gallery in St. Ives next June. More details nearer the time.
