Africa 1

My latest graphite effort features a giraffe family portrait (my second). At 54 x 35cm this is much bigger than the last but executed in exactly the same way with Wolffe graphite pencils on Fabriano 5 hot press watercolour paper.

West Norfolk Artists Association Exhibition 2012

The 11th WNAA 2012 summer exhibition has just ended and can be counted a success with well over 1000 visitors to the 2 week event at St Nicholas Chapel, King's Lynn.

The 'fishermans' chapel provides a stunning backdrop to the annual exhibition as always and with plans afoot to carry out extensive renovations which will include alterations that will create an even more dynamic exhibition area it can only get better. It is worth pointing out here that much of the restoration does depend on fund raising so every effort will be appreciated and with what promises to be an unrivalled exhibition space, much to the Associations benefit.

Anyhow, here are a few pics of the exhibition in its setting, followed by a roll call of many of the artist members with some of their work....enjoy.
