Dear Art Blog Although my painting of our daughter, Natalie Ann did not achieve any prestigious awards in this year's UKCPS Open International Art Exhibition at the Menier Gallery in London, the event is still open until Saturday 16 May 2015 and well worth a visit if you're in London for sightseeing, shopping, business or pleasure! Congratulations to all the prizewinners, some of them unheard, unsung and with talent yet-to-be-unveiled. Thanks to the Executive Committee for all their hard work; volunteer status without pay is no easy task and almost soul-destroying at times, but the management group works coherently well together. Copy/paste the link below to view all the Google picasa gallery images from the live exhibition and in the meantime, I'll leave you with a final look at "Girl with a Jack Wills Bag" in all her splendour! https://plus.google.com/photos/107984148488976255737/albums/6147138986088288641?authkey=CMX77PCrxLmIUw
