Aitch exhibiting at Artlink, Hull.

Aitch — Sun, 22 May 2011 17:30:28 +0000

I have recently received the following confirmation email, which I am delighted about:

Congratulations! I am delighted to inform you that your work has been selected for Artlink’s Contemporary Art and Craft Fayre on Saturday 28th May 2011.

The Fayre will take place at the Artlink Centre for Community Arts, which is situated at 87 Princes Avenue, Hull, HU5 3QP and will open from mid-day until 4pm. The event is for local talent to showcase their crafts in a well-established venue.

I will of course be taking along my ever-popular hand painted notebooks as well as my range of mini paintings on easels, wooden trinket boxes, magnetic notepads and greetings cards. I may also take some of my smaller paintings if I have room.

Artlink have created a Facebook event which you can view here.

Here’s an example of some of the work I will be selling:

The date for the next Art in the Street Sale in Maidenhead has just been announced. It will be on Saturday 7th May and I’ve just heard that I have been successful in getting a stand! There will be around 60 artists displaying and selling some of their latest works. The market will be open from 10am to 4pm and more details can be found on the official website: www.maidenheadartmarket.org

Here’s a picture of my stand at the November market.

In May I’ll be showing some of my newer works with a range of small and large paintings all for sale. Come along and see me!

Mini Art Show

Aitch — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 13:44:18 +0000

I have recently entered 7 paintings for the 2nd Mini Art Show to be held at the South Street Gallery in Scarborough. I created 4 new ones for the exhibition and entered the 3 that I had entered in the first one also. The exhibition runs from February 17th to April 3rd.

Here’s a couple of the new ones I’ve created:

Ferens Open Exhibition

Aitch — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 14:47:44 +0000

This morning I dropped off two paintings for the annual Ferens Art Gallery’s Open Exhibition, which takes place from Saturday 12th February until Sunday 3rd April 2011. I have entered a few times in the past without success, but I have positive feelings this time – I am entering “3 Wise Men An An Interloper” and “Red Rocks”. Both paintings are an acrylic/ink media on canvas board and are mounted and framed. I entered them successfully for the East Yorkshire Open Art Exhibition last July so decided to use them again.

I will find out if I have been successful on 4th February, so fingers crossed!

60th Haltemprice Art Exhibition

Aitch — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 11:35:14 +0000

Time sure flies – I can’t believe it’s already time to start thinking about my entries for the annual Haltemprice Art Exhibition. I never know whether to take a couple of smaller paintings, in the hope of selling them – or a couple of really large ones that just show off my work more due to the very nature of them being large! Hmm…. any ideas, anyone?I haven’t created any new paintings since my small “Giza Look” just before summer, as I’ve been concentrating on decorative notebooks, magnetic notepads and hand-made cards to sell at local events and on my Etsy shop.

So, it could be a really large one such as “Watching Paint Dry” (which is 76 x 50cm)

Watching Paint Dry

Or a smaller one, such as Marooned (which is 35 x 35cm framed)

Marooned

Alternatively, I could go for a theme – such as floral, and have “Anniversary Flowers” and “Golden Daffodil” as my entries, or have a musical theme and use my “Violin- Dedicated to Daniel” along with “Fine Tuning”. Hmmm, decisions, decisions! Any ideas, anyone? Entries have to be in on October 18th….so thinking caps on please!

Puff the Magic Dragon - infrared image (Konica IR750 film)

I was delighted to be asked by Andy Finney to provide a print of this image for the Royal Photographic Society’s exhibition to celebrate 100 years of infrared photography, Infrared 100. If you’re interested in the history of infrared photography, or other events to celebrate this centenary, please visit Andy’s blog covering the topic at infrared100.org.

Holderness Art Show

Aitch — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 16:48:51 +0000

Well, I’ve delivered my two entries for the Holderness Art Show 2010 – I opted for an acrylic abstract painting (Cool Sticks) and a pastel drawing (Violin – Dedicated To Daniel) as they are both framed and were hanging in the house within easy reach! The exhibition is being held at St Peters and St Pauls Church in Burton Pidsea, East Yorkshire, and is open on 11th September for the preview (tickets only) then on Sunday 12th September 10.30am to 4.30pm.

There are about 70 entries for this exhibition so it should be quite varied and I look forward to seeing the other items on display. It’s the first time I’ve entered this particular exhibition but as I am trying to enter as many local shows as possible, I didn’t want to miss out.

Cool Sticks, Acrylic on board.

My Arts Trail exhibition is now installed at Goldsmith Webb Opticians, 19 Market Road, Chelmsford. Please do pop by and take a look at my ethereal and coastal landscape work if you are in the area. The whole trail looks set to be very exciting with a diverse range of work for sale and lots of special events.

You can collect an Arts Trail brochure from any of the venues taking part (look out for the numbered stickers and posters in their window) or from Interior Angle Gallery, 23 Wells Street, Chelmsford. The trail runs until Sunday 26th September 2010.
