Half Way Through!

The joint exhibition at Eccles Community Art Gallery is now half way through. It is amazing how fast the time has gone. The gallery is situated down the side passage next to Wilkinsons.
The gallery is open on the following dates:-

Friday 22 February

Saturday 23 February

Tuesday  26 February

Friday    1 March

Saturday 2 March

On 5 March most works will end their month's display and the gallery will then be restocked with new works by new local artists. The gallery is a fantastic place because it in run by volunteers on a non profit making basis.

Artists are "in residence" every day the gallery is open. They welcome visitors who come in and talk to them. It is very interesting to see what others get up to and how they produce their works for display.
There is no obligation to buy but if if you wish to do so please note the Gallery operates on a cash only basis to keep overheads down which can be passed onto the customer.

These are 4 of my 14 paintings that are hanging in the Gallery.

Below is a shot of the Gallery with 58  more works on display.

The Show Goes On Until 2 March 2019!

New exhibition of paintings, by local artists, now running until Sat inc. at Eccles Community Art Gallery . The gallery is run by volunteers for the benefit of the community. There are over 60 new works on display in a range of sizes and prices. The gallery is open Saturday from 10am – 4pm.

There will be some artists “in residence” during all of the day so you are all very welcome to call by and ask any

questions you may have about the works on display and anything else that interests you.

We look forward to meeting you there. We are next to Wilkinsons.

I Have 14 paintings on display and will be in the gallery 

tomorrow from 10.30 - 14.00.

Help For Heroes

Whenever the chance arises I like to use my art works to help our favourite charities. I offered a fundraiser for "Help for Heroes" who do fantastic work for ex servicemen of the British Army. This offer was accepted and the painting used in a fundraising evening.

It is called "Forward Observation Post, Musa Qala, Afghanistan". It is an acrylic on canvas (60cm x 50cm). I have to say it was not done from nature. Instead I worked from a web photo taken by an unknown member of the armed forces.

It seemed relevant to the worthy cause concerned and I chose it because of the rock colours and the deep heat/dust haze. It should be judged purely on its artistic merit alone.

Clearing the Archives

Bob & I have decided to clear out the image archive over the next week or so. This is to make room to post images of the 14 works that are now hanging in Eccles Community Art Gallery a.k.a. "The Gallery"

These are works that have been completed between 2014 - 2018inc but have not been posted .

Once some of these have been posted I shall begin to publish images of individual works created especially for my solo exhibition within the gallery.
