Well, I did make it to “Patchings” but it seems that touching wood may actually be hazardous to my health. I was pretty sick again (although hopefully more useful to Jenny than I was last year) and the latest theory is that some kind of tree pollen is aggravating to my asthma. This would account for my seasonal “Patchings” poorliness but that is all information for a medical blog and not an art one so I won’t elaborate further. Needless to say I have not been able to paint very much this June but I did manage to finish a couple of little summery pictures to make myself feel better. I also managed to make it along to the Horsforth “Walk of Art” in Leeds on the 2nd and 3rd of July. Jenny and I had the Horsforth Tennis Club to ourselves and gleefully filled the club house with paintings. It was a fantastic weekend – a big thank you to Lara (the event organiser) and to John Barton and the committee of the Horsforth Tennis Club for all their help and support. I was also very pleased to hear this week that I have had 3 paintings accepted into the summer exhibition at POD art gallery in Bishop Auckland. The exhibition starts on 11th July with a preview evening which I am looking forward to attending. My last piece of good news this week was that my painting “Blue Cottage, Staithes” has been sold thanks to the efforts of Ali and Rob who organise the Art Wall at Tea Hee’s in Easingwold, North Yorkshire. So, it has been a wheezy June but so far July has come in with a bang and I still have all those bluebells to paint…
