RBSA Portrait Prize Exhibition

Last night I went to the Private View of the The Portrait Prize Exhibition at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA). It was hot, hot weather and the gallery room was even hotter but the exhibition is top notch. So great to see big names (lots of Royal Society of Portrait Painter members!) and great talents in the show. It is brilliant show with lots of variety. Go see if you get the chance. It is on until 24 August.

Great work from Katy Jones (top) and Mark Highton

I loved this painting, Steve Caldwell's 'Frankie' won 3d prize.
Is Caldwell the 21st century William Larkin?

Stephanie Pijper's great work.

2015 Exhibitions

Happy 2015!! I love looking ahead so I have been looking at any great exhibitions coming up. Not the ones with my work in it - necessarily - but the big ones at the major public galleries. Lots of newspapers do this but just like everybody else I never agree with their selection! In 2014 there were some real blockbuster exhibitions. I don’t always get to go because of time restraints (I have a young family so sometimes Rembrandt has to make way for Paddington Bear) but I really enjoyed the ‘Wedding Dresses’ exhibition at the V&A last year, as well as the major Veronese exhibition at the National Gallery. Of course the BP Portrait Award 2014 was a big one for me personally. I really wanted to see the Rembrandt exhibition but I simply ran out of time and had to skip it. I am no big exhibition-goer, but I am a wannabe. In no particular order I hope to see at least some of these promising exhibitions in 2015. Which ones would you recommend and have I missed? Sargent.
