A Critique to the Bury Art Society

Last week I was asked to deliver a critique to the Bury Art Society. This is not something I usually do. I am much more comfortable demonstrating painting techniques rather than pontificating on other people's work.

But it turned out to be a very pleasant evening. Lots of banter and lots of questions. And of course a wide variety of paintings that members had had the courage to put forward for public dissection.
Hopefully, my comments were constructive and helpful.

Two Awards for Michael.



At the recent Annual Exhibition of the Bury Art Society, my charcoal and chalk drawing of Michael won the "Drawing Prize". This is a new award presented for the first time this year.


The oil portrait I did of him has also recently won the Senellier Award at Patchings National Art Competition in Nottinghamshire.
