This morning I finally managed to get to the exhibition at Sewerby Hall, Bridlington, where two of my paintings have been hanging since July 3rd. I was chuffed that my pieces were chosen, since it was the first time I’ve entered this particular exhibition. I really thought that today was my last chance for viewing, but when I got there, the date of the exhibition is displayed as 3rd July to 31st August, not the 29th (as I had on my entry form). Anyhow, I managed to get a photo of my two paintings in situ – there were quite a variety of artworks on show and it was worth the trip. I spotted quite a few pieces from fellow East Riding Artists members, including a couple of new acrylic paintings by Peter Schoenecker, whose work I have always liked.
I didn’t like to take any more photos since it was fairly busy, with it being a Bank Holiday weekend – the painting you can see next to my two is called Manhattan Sunset, painted in acrylic by an Lesley Webb – I’ve not heard of her before.
As well as the exhibition, which was situated upstairs in the West Wing (several rooms, actually), there were lots of other artworks on display (some of which were temporary and others permanent) along with a museum, a room dedicated to Amy Johnson and lots of rooms full of antique furniture etc. The grounds were full also today – there was a vintage (or was it classic??) car show and a display of jousting by some people who re-enact certain periods in history – not my cup of tea at all, but obviously very popular.
My favourite view of the day was the following snaps I took of some llamas that are resident within the gardens of the Hall:
