A new opportunity at 'Marvellous Art Gallery' July 2019
New gallery opens in Leicester's Belvoir Street, the 'Marvellous Art Gallery' which will now be showcasing my work! Owner Marvin Daika wants to bring exhibitions and events to the gallery. He is currently showing the work of famous artist Paul Wright with a large oil painting of the late LCFC chairman, Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in the window and his son Aiyawatt which hangs inside. Marvin wanted to open his own gallery, but thought it would be impossible. "I used to run a shipping company but got tired of it," he says.
Offering something 'fresh and different' he's showcasing the work of local artists in a unit transformed into a creative space. Come look inside or visit the website by clicking on the following link: https://www.marvellousartgallery.co.uk
Here are my latest two New York oil paintings showcasing at 'Marvellous.'

Progress in oils - Vicky Park in yellow!
About time I brought you up to date with my efforts in oils.
My first picture eventually suffered from over working; the sheer versatility of the medium seduced me so that I kept on changing things until, frankly, all the freshness and originality that had been in the painting at the beginning had been painted out.
The efforts which followed went in the same direction, but more slowly. Bearing in mind that I'd never worked in oils before this and you'll understand that I had more than a little to learn!
All the same, lessons with artist and friend, Louise Ellerington, were beginning to get me somewhere, although until lately I didn't know exactly where!
My most recent painting has something interesting in it. I think. It isn't perfect but I'm not ashamed to share it with you! But see what you think for yourself.
