Our annual open studio event is underway in Lingfield. As usual it’s been very busy, lots of people have been to visit us. This year as well as Lois and myself we have a jeweller, Helen Morris-Clarke, who has her beautiful jewellery on show in the gallery alongside the paintings. Follow the link to take a look at this years show, as well as photos of the animals who had plenty of visitors themselves.

On Saturday we had a Pimms afternoon. It was a lovely sunny day and we had some wonderful food to go with our Pimms. People came all through the afternoon and into the evening to look at the gallery, have a Pimms and enjoy chatting in the sunshine in the garden.

We are open again this week until Sunday.

The SOFA show is on now at the Llewellyn Alexander gallery in Waterloo. The private view was on Tuesday and I’ve put photos up on flickr of the show.

This is Leo. I loved the way she was sitting in the sun enjoying the warmth in her fur. The light was wonderful and a real challenge to paint! I couldn’t resist! This is a 10×12 inch oil painting which will be in the Society Of feline Artists show in September.
