CAMBRIDGE
The Cambridge Drawing Society, of which I am an elected member, will be holding its Autumn Exhibition at The Leys School in Cambridge (CB2 7AD) in late October The Society features all kinds of artwork, not just drawing, and sculpture too. There will be about 300 works on display, almost all for sale, and the standard is very high, many of the members being professionals. I shall be showing three pictures: landscapes in pastel from East Anglia, two of them local and one of the north Norfolk coast. My prices will range from £195 to £295. Many works in the exhibition will be priced in roughly that range. The exhibition will run from Sunday Oct 27th to Saturday Nov 2nd, admission free.
ICKLETON, south of Cambridge
I held a solo exhibition and sale of some 30 works at my home in November last year. All of them were landscapes of East Anglia in oil or pastel. I sold 18 works and donated some £1500 towards funds for the restoration and preservation of the 12th century frescos in our local church: St Mary Magdalene Church, Ickleton, South Cambridgeshire. These wallpaintings are of national importance and contain features that are extremely rare and in some cases unique. They are very beautiful and can be viewed at any time, as the church is open during daylight hours every day of the year. There is an excellent guide book in the church, price £5. The website containing full details of the church and the wallpaintings is at: www.hinkledux.com Please contact me for further details if you wish, using the message form on the Contacts page.
Ickleton is about 10 miles due south of Cambridge, 2 miles from J10 of the M11. (NB visitors from the north MUST exit at J10; there is no exit southbound at J9, and the next exit is 15 miles further south!). If approaching from the South on the M11 you can exit at J9.
ELSEWHERE
The life-drawing group of which I have been a member for 24 years will be showing works by its members at The Old Fire Engine House in Ely in late November. The group contains some highly talented artists and we shall be showing examples of what we paint and draw when we are not drawing from life! Further details will follow.
