'A Right Royal Street Party' - framed & displayed!

'A Right Royal Street Party' - framed & displayed
















Here's a quick peek at the interior of Leicester's West End Gallery; spacious, light, airy and very smart. I'm incredibly lucky to be holding my exhibition here.
As you can see, my painting of the Royal Family's own Jubilee bash, 'A Right Royal Street Party' is at last framed and displayed. Recent family & business portraits arrive next week.
The quality prints taken from the painting are excellent; the paper & colour reproduction are great and I'm delighted with them. The same can't yet be said of the posters but we'll keep going until they too are true copies of the original.
It looks like my exhibition will begin mid-July as it's going to take that long to get the products ready to buy online. I'd like a bigger variety of products, maybe table mats or decorative tins, but they'll have to wait until sales justify consideration, my agent says!
I suppose it's true, setting up the exhibition is already costing quite a bit.

Any umbrellas?

Keep Calm & Carry On!
My agent, who's always going on at me to do more and work harder, probably does more than me even though she's disabled!
Max and I drove her to see her consultant this week and whenever we do something for her she always gives us something to say thanks.
Not that she needs to. 
So with a massive stroke of luck, the week my old umbrella gave up the ghost I was presented with this zingy new one!
Not only is it Jubilee themed, with the umbrella right down over my head I can see through the clear plastic panels AND keep my hair dry.
So both stylish and practical!
Max approves too, hence the pic.
