‘Dawn to Dusk’, my solo show at Petworth House and Gardens has now closed. It has been such a privilege, delight and thrill to have been invited by Petworth House to paint their Deer Park (all 700 acres of it!) and their Gardens. I can’t express what joy and fun I have had painting in the grounds, all culminating in a ten-week show in the Servant’s Quarters Gallery at Petworth House.
Based on the cycle of the day in Petworth Deer Park and Gardens the show was painted in a combination of Plein air work and larger studio works. Through out the Summer I have been able to meet a lot of my wonderful followers and ‘new’ followers at my ‘Meet the Artist’ sessions in the Gallery at Petworth House. And over the Summer I have also run a few ‘Demo Days’ where I have been in the grounds of the House painting all day. Lots of people have come by to watch and chat about all things arty and I want to thank everyone for making the journey to see me paint. We had a lot of fun - even if some of the days were roasting hot and we had seek out the shade!
‘Dawn to Dusk’ had a fabulous double spread in The Artist and articles in Painters Online and Artists and Illustrators. The show also reached an international audience with several page spreads in PleinAir Magazine and American Watercolor Magazine, both American publications. I am thrilled to say as a result many of the paintings where sold to overseas collectors! We also reached TV with Latest TV interview and Radio Sussex!
My show at Petworth has been one of the most amazing experiences. I can’t thank the team at Petworth enough for all their valuable support. I shall no doubt be returning to paint their beautiful Deer Park and gardens in the future… It will feel like coming back to an old friend!
Don’t worry if you missed the show! It will go up on here under past exhibitions to be browsed and purchased for the foreseeable future!
