April’s Private View - Last Friday of the Month Art Exhibition - Plus WIN A PRINT!

by

April has just galloped along hasn’t it! With Spring teasing us here and there making odd appearances and then vanishing. Let’s hope that we can enjoy warmer and brighter weather with every passing day.

I’ve been painting with a focus on animals but including some other subjects and today am unveiling the latest collection of my original works on paper.

Join me today - Friday 26th April for a virtual private view at my online gallery

www.eastwitchinganimalart.co.uk

- where you will find affordable, original works on paper.

Also see below on HOW TO ENTER the PRINT GIVEAWAY!

This month has seen my start my art demo career! I had a lovely welcome from Pentyrch Art Society 2 weeks ago where I did a watercolour afternoon. Also this month I have joined a local art society to discipline myself to paint more. Cilfynydd Art Society is a relaxed group of painters meeting every week in Pontypridd, South Wales. Next year I hope they will let me take part in their annual exhibition!

Have a glass of virtual wine, put your feet up and browse with your fingers - enjoy!

Here are just a few of my originals that are featured in my April exhibition. But before you go I would like to send this exhibition of with a bang and do a print giveaway.

Art Demo Initiation - Thank you Pentyrch!

I couldn’t have asked for a lovelier group of artists to whom to give my first ever art demo.

At Pentyrch Village Hall yesterday from 1-3pm I was very warmly welcomed by all of the members and was so glad I had accepted their invitation to come and paint.Thanks to Christine Mather and Anne Peebles I had a great time meeting everyone before doing two slots either side of a teabreak - painting a watercolour crab and doing a demo of a dog’s eye followed by a partial poppy demo.

The time flew and two members Roger and Mike had set up a video camera, projector and screen so that everyone could see me paint. I don’t stand to paint and sit down to work flat so it would have been a bit tricky for about 20 people to stand around me and watch!

Pentyrch Art Society is due to have an exhibition on 19th May from 10am till 6pm in the village hall and so I will go and see the work of those to whom I demonstrated.

For garden lovers I would recommend that you go to the hugely popular National Gardens Scheme open day that Pentyrch has held for several years . It is a real treat to wander around the winding roads and lanes that lead from one beautiful property and its gardens to another. Here is a useful link to GarthGardeners blog - http://garthgardeners.wordpress.com/

Many thanks to all involved and as I understand you would like to have me back at some time I will try to think of something completely different to paint for you then.
