Update 19th March 2010
The Royal West of England Academy
Both Nicola and I are celebrating our success at having their paintings selected for the prestigious Royal West of England Acadamy Open Painting Exhibition, in Bristol. The RWA has a well known Autumn show every year but they also have a series of exhibitions. The criteria for these are different each year as it revolves through disciplines of sculpture, painting and printmaking etc. This year the exhibition was for painting.
The last time was 2005, so like the Olympics it’s a long wait to try again if you don't get in.
Unlike other exhibitions it is quite a minimal hang with all paintings hanging 'on the line'; something more often seen in big public galleries such as the Tate or the National Gallery. Each painting is positioned at eye level with space around them. This makes the final choice of exhibitors a challenge for the selectors. The wonderful Victorian Galleries of the Royal West of England Academy are now hung with just 120 paintings selected from artists working all over the country. Prizes for the best work chosen by the selection committee are donated from The Odin Charitable Trust, totalling £8,000 for four prizes, The Artists Magazine and Creative Picture Framing.
I am exhibiting two paintings including an oil on canvas which won a ‘highly commended’ award, and Nicola has one painting included in the exhibition.
The Open Painting Exhibition at the Royal West of England Academy is on until the 9th May.
Details of the exhibition can be found on their website

After several visits along the gorge in the late Summer I have produced a small group of paintings for this exhibition. The Palette of colours was new for me and entirely the result of the amazing reflected light that I was lucky enough to find each time I went.
