Recently I have been lucky enough to have been invited to show my watercolours at some Exhibitions and to show my watercolours in Galleries.
This is quite new to me and a little bit daunting as one doesn’t know what the reactions will be.
But it has also been exciting and although I do sell watercolours on line, mainly via Artfinder, or by word of mouth or commissions, exhibiting is a bit diifferent!
So in this post I am showing some of the watercolours, framed and ready to exhibit. Some have been sold and these are included too.
The emphasis of the exhibitions have been partly Kent biased and so the majority of the watercolours reflect this but others are of different places we have travelled to.
One really nice aspect is seeing ones work alongside others and recognising your own devolopment as an artist in context with others. This is quite stimulating and of course reinforced if a sale is made of a painting.
I feel that the past two years have changed art sales quite a bit with an increase in my sales during lockdowns and a decline now that normal life is a bit closer. I don’t know if other artists have also noticed this but again discussions at the exhibitions did indicate this may be a factor..
So here are some of the watercolours. You may have seen them before here but now I hope in a new context.
There are 9 paintings in all
Firstly a watercolour sold at an Gallery in Tonbridge ( Artspring).
The exhibition was called “Reflections” which interestingly was the name of this Lockdown painting
Reflections at Scotney Castle in Kent 18 by 8 inches.
The next few were exhibited in a Kent Creative Exhibition in Faversham in Kent
For another exhibition at Hartley in Kent I introduced two new watercolours,painted on canvas
During 2022 I do hope to get the opportunity to exhibit my watercolours in more Galleries and Exhibitions, meanwhile I need to get on with a new commission!
Happy travelling and do stay well.
