Brilliant news! This painting of mine (The Holehouse Portrait) 74x74cm - has been selected for the Autumn exhibition at the Royal West of England Academy of art (RWA), in Bristol. I've also been invited to talk about this and my other selected painting on the John Darvall show on BBC Radio Bristol Wednesday 12 August at midday. This is an acrylic portrait of two great friends Lynne and Martyn Holehouse, who ran the Cherry Art Centre art shop and gallery in Longwell Green. The first time I met them I was a teenage very skint artist who wandered in and asked if they could give me some paints for free, so I could paint a picture to sell to get the money to pay them. Amazingly they agreed, and we've been great friends ever since. For my first solo exhibition in 2004, Martyn framed the entire show for free to help me out. They've always been so supportive and the nicest people you could ever meet. Lynne is also a fantastic artist, and was a finalist on the TV show 'Watercolour Challenge'.
The exhibition opens on the 12th of September and runs until the 3rd of January. It's always a fantastic show. The RWA were the first major gallery to show my work way back in 1999, and have been a major part in helping me form my career.
The painting is packed full of symbolism, and was inspired by 'The Arnolfini Portrait'.
