Last weekend’s Sussex Watercolour Society exhibition was a great success and I had a great time!
Here’s me in front of my display on the evening of the private view (during which I completely failed to take any photos!)
On the Sunday, I spent a lovely day painting and chatting to visitors. I did, however, make a schoolboy error by choosing a subject that I wasn’t exactly sure how to paint!
The view is looking along Devil’s Dyke in East Sussex and out across the Sussex Weald.
I had some lovely and often very funny conversations with visitors while I painted this and, despite a few moments of intense doubt, I was quite pleased with how this turned out!
It was a busy and enjoyable weekend but in some ways, I’m also glad that it’s all over! I still have some unpacking and sorting out to do but I think that’s my final exhibition commitment of the year all done and dusted!
It could be all tied in with the end of the summer holidays and the return to school but I’m really looking forward to getting back to painting just for the fun and pleasure of it!
