I am busy getting ready for some exhibitions at the moment. Two are in Kendal and another is in Didsbury in Manchester. One of the exhibitions in Kendal opens on Wednesday and I am going to help hang the work tomorrow. It is in the Castle Dairy Restaurant and Art Gallery which is the oldest building in Kendal (dating back to the 1500s). The restaurant is staffed by students from Kendal College under a top chef and I have heard the food is very good. Friends of ours have been telling us about it for a while so we plan to go with them to eat there some time soon. There will be canapés at the opening so I’m looking forward to tasting them!
The other exhibition in Kendal opens in January and is in the Brewery Arts Centre. It is a group exhibition and I will be submitting two paintings but I haven’t decided which ones yet.
Yesterday, I met with three other artists with whom I will be exhibiting in Parsonage House in Didsbury next February. It is a Grade 2 listed building and the rooms, where we will hang our paintings, are very light and spacious. They look on to beautiful gardens where I have been painting for many years. Here is a painting I did of the house. I will probably include it in my exhibition.
