Lighthouse Poole Open Exhibition

This acrylic painting has been selected for the Poole Open Exhibition at the Lighthouse Theatre in Poole. It opens on April 12th. I can't be there but my son will represent me. 

Below is a favourite painting of Poole which I have posted before but I am sitting facing it here in France where it sits in pride of place as a lovely reminder of a very special meal. Its the Kitchen in Poole Park. In the days when we were able to dine out we had a six course meal there once. We were so impressed we took family and friends there. Small delicious nouveau cuisine dishes with matching wine. The kitchen has change hands since and is quite different, we pop in for coffee sometimes and enjoy the view over the lake.

I am nearly up to date now with recording my art since I moved over to Instagram and stopped using this blog. Instagram could disappear and this is a good record for me.The last post on this group was the orange and yellow cups painting which did disappear on instagram. my fault I think but it made me think. I am in France now and its cold and the beginning of April 2024 and I have just had good news. more in the next post.

2024 Summer Months Spent in France

The stable is bright annd airy, we have had connected to the main house, and modernised, now painted white with a solid floor and double glazing. It makes a wonderful  studio and I can enamel and make jewellery such as this ring and the earrings. I also did a little glass foiling and wire wrapping an oil painting before returning to winter in the UK
