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) for a week in late October The Society comprises 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 hope to be showing two or three three pictures, probably landscapes from East Anglia. Dates will follow shortly.
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. 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 My home address is: Durhams Farmhouse, 31 Butchers Hill, Ickleton, Saffron Walden, CB10 1SR.
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.

I hope to be showing at other galleries in the autumn. Please watch this space for details.
