SOTA Gallery Whitney



There is a lovely gallery that has now been open for about 18 months in Whitney (on the edge of the beautiful Cotswolds). This gallery SOTA is in a small complex of shops and near a Waitrose and 3 hours free parking! Do go and browse if you are in the area they have some great things.
They have just taken 4 of my flower giglee prints, one of which is beautifully framed in a muted cream/stone colour. I was hesitant to have it framed initially because of the outlay but it really looks amazing. (it is the top image). 'Pink Rose 1' below is another of the prints. So fingers crossed someone will love them...

I am now a member of the Reading Guild of Artists

Last Wednesday 6 of my paintings were picked up as well as some sketchbooks and notebooks and taken away for evaluation. that evening I as invited to come and discuss my work.
Due to the flooding various roads were closed which ofcourse the GPS could not understand so I was half an hour late...aaaghh! But I got in! I am now a member of the Reading Guild of Artists. It was lovely to talk to fellow artists about your art. It is quite different than  discussing your work with gallery owners...of-course.
