The ING Discerning Eye is always a highlight in the art calendar! It features an array of selected works across all spectrums of art genres. I have been extremely lucky over the years to have been selected several times for this fabulous show.
This year I had four large oil paintings selected by the retiring Chairman of the Discerning Eye, Tony Humphreys and I was delighted to sell three of the landscapes. All four works were painted en plein air along a chalk path high up in the South Downs. The path takes you along an ancient chalk track from Cissbury Ring to Chanctonbury Ring with amazing views across the fields.
I was also thrilled that Tony Humphreys selected an oil painting from my studio as his retirement present. What an honour that someone with such an eye for art should choose one of my works!
On the last day of the show I was also invited to do a ‘demo’ at the Mall Galleries. I set up thinking it would be very quiet on the last day. How wrong was I! I was so busy chatting and demonstrating to visitors - and my social media followers who took the trouble to pop by and say ‘hello’ in person - that time just flew. A big thank you to all you lovely people who came. It’s always a pleasure to meet you all!
The show can still be viewed online until 31st December 2021.
