Royal Society of Portrait Painters
Royal Society of Portrait Painters annual Exhibition Portraits 2012 The private view of the RP exhibition was, as always apparently, packed. Through the crowds I managed to have a good look around and found myself amazed at the evocative paintings on display. I had so many favourites I could not show them all. There was an impressive collection of portraits of the Queen, to celebrate her jubilee, and of course the celebs were not lacking in presence either. But a hugely touching portrait by David Cobley of his mother stole the show, as did three paintings by RP member Michael Taylor. Antony Williams won the Ondaatje Prize ('best in show’) and his work is absolutely awesome. His portraits in egg-tempera are stern but endlessly subtle, technically amazing and timeless.

Magazine Article
There is a 4-page article about me and my work in the French art magazine Pratique des Arts! I am really excited and proud. Stéphanie came to interview me last summer and finally here is the result.

Here is the link to the magazine website: http://www.pratiquedesarts.com/ Here’s a preview/teaser of the first pages: http://issuu.com/diverti/docs/pratiquedesarts_103?mode=window&pageNumber=1

Unfortunatly OU 20th century art should be renamed 20th century art criticism, that is not as interesting as the Art itself (!!!!!) due to the density of Art critics language.It's interesting and now Iunderstand the background to weverything but can't wait to return to my Victorian heroes one day.....
