I have recently submitted a painting for an auction run by New Light whose aim is to make Northern visual arts available to everyone through exhibitions, lending art to hospices, schools etc and through an education programme which includes talks, workshops and school projects. The aim of the auction is to raise money to be able to continue with this aim. Its called a 100 for 100 and the paintings submitted had to be small and unframed. I decided to put in one of my paintings of the view out of the window of the cottage of our friends, Eve and Duncan. It is near near Kendal and I’d painted there many times. Eve gave Duncan one of my paintings of the view for his 60th birthday. Now they’re about to move, so it will be a good memory.
This is the one I put in for the on-line auction which starts this Friday.
