Leicester Art House review & pictures

Leicester Art House went incredibly well! The artist exhibitors were surprised by the number of visitors across the weekend and in the interest they displayed in all the types of work available, some of which was of genuinely excellent quality.
The interest in my own work was gratifying and the number of posters and prints sold (plus an original!) far exceeded my hopes or expectations.
So with thanks to the art-loving home owners who make Art House possible, and to everyone who expressed interest or parted with their cash, here are a few of the photos taken at Art House last weekend.

One month on & more visitor pics

It's already a month since my first ever exhibition, at Leicester's West End Gallery, came to an end. 

The business of being in exhibition was both exhilarating and exhausting; if I'd realised it beforehand, I'm not sure I'd have been so keen to go ahead.

No matter, one month on and fully recovered, I'm trying to repeat the exercise with an exhibition in London!

But I'm ahead of myself; in the last few days of the Leicester expo more friends and visitors popped in. So here, belatedly, are a few more pics:

The end of the beginning & the start of something new

A  lot of lovely people have visited my first exhibition at Leicester's West End Gallery over the past 4 weeks. THANKS to everyone who's dropped in, especially to those who bought posters and prints of 'A Right Royal Street Party'!

Just coming along to my Meet the Artist sessions, to enthuse, encourage, look and laugh was truly inspiring!

THANK YOU ALL!! It was great meeting you!

On Saturday 19.8. the exhibition officially ends, so if you haven't already done so you've just a few days left to visit! What the end of the expo means for me, aside from new commissions, I don't yet know. With the extra confidence you've given me these past weeks, I do know it's going to be exciting!

Sadly, though not without warning, my agent's ill-health is causing her to withdraw from helping me. We were planning much more together and we're both disappointed. She reminds me always that those of us with good health shouldn't take it for granted.

But she would be first to insist that I continue my artwork and I'll be doing just that, knowing she's urging me on, still at the end of the phone. It's the end of the beginning and maybe also the start of something new, unknown and hopefully challenging!

In the meantime here are a few pictures of yet more wonderful exhibition visitors from the past week. Onwards and upwards.
