This Spring is full of surprises, it brings me interesting visitors, including a tutor from my art student days over 20 years ago. The drawback of being a professional artist is that one often works in isolation, buried in work and only occasionally meeting other artists. (Or maybe that’s just me being a hermit). Gallery owners see my work and express a preference, my friends see my work and like it because they like me, people see my work in galleries and buy it if they like it and have room on their walls… So I paint. It’s very rare for me to get constructive criticism from someone with knowledgeable and detached judgement. It’s great. And on the same day, I was asked to be the featured artist in Blandscliff Gallery in Scarborough, from 21 June til mid August. (*quietly excited*)
