What’s coming up in June & July 2017?
Well another busy month or two of painting ahead that’s what!! I have recently become a member of the Shropshire Art Society (shropshireartsociety.org.uk) and I am very much looking forward to taking part in the Shropshire Art Society Summer Exhibition 2017. I will be entering 3 paintings and displaying a selection of Greetings Cards too.
Summer Exhibition 2017: Tuesday 20th June – Thursday 13th July2017
‘The Exhibition will be held in St. Mary’s Church, Shrewsbury from 10am to 4pm each day, closing at 4pm on Thursday 13th July. A People’s Prize of £50 awarded on the basis of votes cast by the viewing public. The Judy Townsend Memorial Prize of £100 will be awarded for the painting that, in the opinion of the Townsend family, displays the strongest design element and the most innovative approach to subject matter.’
I will also be displaying my art work for a month at the Shropshire Art Society Permanent Exhibition from July 15th 2017 held in St. Mary’s Church St Mary’s Street, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY1 1DX

‘Paintings in the permanent exhibition may be for sale, and Jo from The Battlefield 1403 Café in St. Mary’s has kindly offered to take payments for the Society using our Bank Card Machine, so if you would like to buy one of the paintings you see at the exhibition, please head to the cafe and ask for Jo.’
I am also currently preparing my entries for the RBSA (RBSA.org) Friends Exhibition being held at the RBSA Gallery 4 Brook Street Birmingham B3 1SA.
RBSA Friends Exhibition 2017: Thursday 29 June — Saturday 22 July 2017
‘The annual display of artwork by the Friends promotes their range of artistic talents.’
In July we hope to spend a few days in Wales walking around Beddgelert, Harlech and Anglesey and being a bit of a fan of the work of Kyffin Williams I intend making another visit to Oriel Ynys Môn (kyffinwilliams.info/eng/index). Sir John “Kyffin” Williams, KBE, RA (9 May 1918 – 1 September 2006) was a Welsh landscape painter who lived at Pwllfanogl, Llanfairpwll on Anglesey and is widely regarded as the defining artist of Wales during the 20th century.
