Somehow it's September already. August shot by once my solo show at the St. Ives Arts Club ended. I was very happy with my seven sales, along with another at the Penwith Gallery, but glad to get back to making work for this month.

The pieces that didn't sell at the Arts Club will be on show upstairs at the Men-an-Tol Brewhouse in Penzance from the 2nd and I have two more from that show in the Penzance Studios Autumn Exhibition, which opens on the 5th September, at the Wharfside Arts Hub in Penzance, alongside a large diptych that I finished just in time. [see below].

On September 12th I will have more work at the St. Ives Arts Club, as part of the September Festival and on the same day the Royal West of England Academy 173rd Annual Open starts in Bristol; which I have a piece in. I will be at the Private View on the Friday night, which is now sold out.

Next, is planning for, potentially, four more shows before the year is out and making more larger pieces.

I'm very happy to say that Quayside II has sold at Penwith Gallery, as part of the Associate Members Exhibition. I'll be rushing a replacement piece there tomorrow morning for the final few days. The show closes on Saturday 21st and the gallery is open from 10-5.00 daily until then.

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've submitted these two to a couple of Open Calls. Wish them luck! The first one is for the Exeter Contemporary and the second for the Royal West Academy in Bristol.

 I'm happy to say that Right To Roam [see picture here] was sold at the St. Ives Arts Club Easter Exhibition this week. It's the first sale of the year now that some exhibitions are coming up, which is encouraging. I'm concentrating on some experimental three dimensional pieces at the moment like this piece. Whether I will be able to get any of them selected for any open calls or not I'm not sure.
