Hilliard Society Exhibition 2016

I got seven of my miniatures accepted this year which got me the full membership award and a certificate that allows me to use HS after my name. My Mum got this award years ago and it’s nice to follow in her footsteps.

When I went to pick up after the exhibition I found that my little Swan Family painting had been sold so that was good. All in all it was a great exhibition and I was so pleased to be part of it all.

Below are the paintings that I put into the exhibition.

New Paintings

I’ve just completed two miniatures of Mascotte passing Portland and Back from a Rescue??. Just got to frame them and they’re ready to go off to the Hilliard Miniature Society tomorrow along with four more.

Mascotte passing Portland

Mascotte Passing Portland Bill?? is a miniature painting of the Pilot Cutter Mascotte passing Portland Bill lighthouse. This painting is a conglomeration of two photos taken from our boat at different times. Mascotte taken while it was racing in Plymouth Sound and the Portland photo we took as we passed the Bill on our way west to Dartmouth.

Back From a Rescue

Back from a Rescue is a miniature painting of the Swanage lifeboat passing Anvil Point lighthouse off the Purbeck coast of Dorset. Also known as the Jurassic Coast. This was taken from a photo Anne took while we were out running along the coast on our boat Work of Art.

Our Day at the RMS Exhibition

What a great day out we had with Eric & Angie Kincaid at the Mall Galleries in London. The RMS Exhibition was opened by the Rt Hon Michael Portillo with a really good talk about paintings and miniatures and then followed by the Awards Presentation. The prize winners were so worthy of all their awards. The exhibition is on for two weeks and has some stunning paintings and sculptures on display. And as an extra reason for a visit it is running alongside the Marine Artists Exhibition. It really is very well worth a visit if you can find the time. Two of my five pictures I submitted sold in the day before at the private view day. I was soooo over the moon and even more so when we found out that Eric had sold as well. What a great day!!
