Exhibition

     Just thought I'd share a few pictures I took of my recent exhibition at the beautiful Aberglasney Gardens, Carmarthenshire. It was a rather interesting experience; lots of good feedback from visitors but alas only two sales. I must say a massive thank you to my friends Jones & Grey who helped with the hanging and were utterly marvellous! I hope to do the same next year - I'll keep you posted!

Tea with Jones and Gray

     Wednesday in Great Week the bf and I were lucky to take afternoon tea with the remarkable Jones & Grey at their house and studio. The duo are insatiable neo-classicists - artists and artisans who can turn their able hands to drawing, painting, model making and plasterwork - with a particular love for the work of the English architect James Wyatt (1746 -1813). Here is their coolly neo-classical website.
Their house is a testament of both their enthusiasm (which is great) and their appreciable skills for each room is graced with their work in the form of the most delicate neo-classical ceilings. The overall effect is utterly enchanting, and the cake was delicious too!

     Alas my poor photography isn't equal to the subject, but at least they'll give you an idea of what has been created.
