Exhibition in Angoulême

We have finally been to visit a gallery in Angoulême with a view to hanging our paintings there.  This visit resulted in our booking a space for each of us to exhibit for a month from March 13 to April 13.  The gallery incorporates a café and is situated in the heart of the city.

 

Fran has been busy getting together some canvases to show while I have been agonising over which of my many unframed paintings to mount and frame.
Here is one of Fran's new acrylic paintings of an appropriately seasonal scene.

Bluebell Path - Acrylic painting on canvas 40x30 cm


This is one of my latest paintings in a representation of the mount and frame that I have used.

Flowers

Fran has recently completed this painting of hollyhocks which was taken from a view in our small hamlet.  These flowers are blooming at the moment and seem to be able to grow anywhere, even out of cracks between pavement and walls.  This is an acrylic painting on paper 40x25 cm.

The next three paintings are small acrylics on canvas 20x20cm. We display them mounted on small easels which can be supplied with the painting at no extra cost.
