Your invitation to Meet the Artist! 20 July & 3 August, 5-7.30pm

Exhibition starts 19 July, West End Gallery, Leicester

Appreciative audience, L-R, Les Rue, Bob & Pat Tichener and Mike King, from Hinckley

My agent and I visited Leicester's West End Gallery yesterday, to settle outstanding details in advance of my first ever exhibition which begins there on 19 July.
'A Right Royal Street Party' will be the centre of the exhibition, which also features a half dozen or so commissioned family & business portraits from the past couple of years.
It's the first time I've had more than a few of my artworks together in one place and it's a strange, having released them to the world, to have them together again. 
Odd, too, to see how my style has changed over a comparatively short time.
The Gallery was getting busy by the time we left, and to my surprise and pleasure a good deal of attention is already being paid to 'A Right Royal Street Party'.
Les Rue, Bob & Pat Tichener and Mike King from Hinckley were most enthusiastic & complementary about the painting.
I'll be mailing them exhibition invitations to my forthcoming Meet the Artist sessions, and they can bring their American visitors to share the fun! You can come too!
Details available tomorrow :)

'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.

My first exhibition, at West End Gallery, Leicester!

Lizzy Hewitt's first exhibition, to be held at West End Gallery, Leicester

Such excitement in the House of Hewitt! 
Leicester's marvellous West End Gallery has agreed to hold an exhibition of my newest work, 'A Right Royal Street Party', together with earlier portraits!
It'll be my first ever exhibition!
Details have still to be finalised but we're looking initially at a two week period in July to be followed by a further two weeks if all goes well. Beyond that, who knows?!
Having said for years that I should widen my product range to allow more people to purchase and enjoy my artworks, my agent is in seventh heaven at the prospect of finally selling posters and prints of my paintings. 
I'm pretty pleased about it too!
