I am really proud that for the second year running I am exhibiting at the annual exhibition of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters ! My painting ‘Autumn’ was selected and will be exhibited at the Mall Gallerie s in London (on The Mall, near Trafalgar Square) from 3-18 May. I’ve vandalised their official poster a bit (sorry!)

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. I haven’t seen the article yet myself, but if you can get a hold of a copy.... 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

Bye, bye Veil! My painting ‘The Veil’ is on its way to its new home in the USA. Packed and crated, ready to go. It is always a bit nerve-wracking to ship my work so far away. All I can do is pack it really well and hope it arrives in one piece.

A detail of ‘Delicates’, oil, 60x40cm. I am currently working on a similar piece and also hunting for more lace!
