And Now For Something Completely Different!


The Sandy Murphy RSW RGI PAI exhibition comes to an end this Sunday, and I have enjoyed every minute of it.  I have wanted to hold this exhibition for such a long time, and I'm amazed to say that it exceeded my stellar expectations.



  
Seventeen paintings are going to excited buyers, and this has been a dream in itself, but what I didn't expect was the overwhelming feedback from every visitor.  This included Sandy fans, people new to Sandy's work, and a lot of well known Scottish artists who didn't want to miss the show.

 
 



I know we must never look backwards, but I feel a tinge of sadness that it will be over on Sunday.  It has been such a positive experience, and a bonding one too.  I have never had so many discussions about art and painting, and what it is about an artist's use of paint that can make the heart flutter.  I revelled in realising that I am not the only one who holds Sandy's exceptional talent in such high regard.

  
So I guess what I really need now is something to take my mind off it . . . . .
 
 

  
A distraction.  Something striking, thought-provoking and very, very different . . . .


  

  
Something like . . .  well what do you know!  Here comes Margaretann Bennett with a stunning solo exhibition of new works from 23 October.  Ignore at your peril!


  
 

 
Yes, that might just do it!

 
 
Thanks for reading!

  2. You're welcome Anna. They are just stunning and a few have sold from the invitation already. They are all up on the website. I'm trying to decide which one is coming home with me!
