With all my paintings finished I can now concentrate on the display of them. I spent 3 hours cutting my small paintings to a common size. It was utterly tedious but was a necessity. In the timeframe I only managed to trim around 40 so I have another 60 to do for this show but another 100 for the future.
I've been struggling to find some mounting board for my panoramic landscapes. I need a length of 130cm and noone seems to have anuthing larger tha 96cm. I may yet have to join two boards together.
I have been amazed by the lack of activity in our exhibition area over the last few days. There has only been a small handfull of students working throughout Thursday and Friday. It scares me that i have so much to so, why don't the majority of my colleagues? maybe i'm just not as organised as them.
I met with my wonderful friend Carol today who has a Gallery in Derby (THE PRIDE PARK GALLERY) It's a wonderful space and has a great atmosphere. She has recently set up this gallery and is starting to have solo shows over the summer period. These should be great events with opening nights on the last Friday of each Month (I will be showing my work in August so the opening night will be at the end of July) There is some really interesting work at the moment so if you are passing the area pop in and see Carol, she is a lovely woman who will give you a warm welcome. I'm sure she would be interested to look at your work for the future. If you are looking to purchase some contemporary art then Pride Park Gallery is certainly worth a visit
The address is Pride Park Gallery, 4 Brunel Parkway, Pride Park, Just off roundabout 3, Derby.
