The Albany Gallery,Cardiff. Christmas Exhibition 2010

"Catching Up" Sold

Original Watercolour exhibited at the

45th Anniversary and Christmas Show

Albany Gallery,Cardiff

12th November-31st December

The 45th Anniversary and Christmas Show of the Albany Gallery in Cardiff opens today and runs until the end of December. I was born in Wales and this is the very first time I am exhibiting in my birthplace which is quite an emotional feeling. I have a selection of paintings in the show and the above racing scene has already sold as have other artists beautiful paintings from the exhibition.

The gallery is on two floors and revolves around a number of rooms displaying a large collection of varied and incredible art. Considering so many galleries have disappeared over the years the Albany Gallery has very good reason to celebrate not only its' continued success but also its 45th Anniversary. What an achievement.

Meeting the owner and the team who run this gallery is a privilege as they are all without doubt very wonderful people. Knowledgeable in their field and a pleasure to work with as an artist. From the number of sales and red dots already evident I would highly recommend an early visit.

Full details and paintings from the exhibition can be viewed on this link.

The Artist Magazine : Book Review

Jean Haines' Atmospheric Watercolours

"The book is nothing less than a paean to the wet in wet technique. If that's your thing, prepare to be amazed. Jean Haines credits Jean Louis Morelle, and in many ways this book is the sequel to Morelle's remarkable, but very technical work, showing the wealth of creative possibilities the technique offers. A lot of the images are barely recognisable and yet you instinctively know what they are. I wish I knew how, because this is impressionism taken to its logical conclusion and reminiscent of some of the later work by JMW Turner. You will have to take it from me that "First signs of a face appearing magically from a first wash of watercolour" is pure alchemy. This is an extraordinary book."

"Amazing Ways With Watercolour:" Fastest Selling DVD!

"Amazing Ways With Watercolour" from Town House Films is the fastest selling DVD with the company to date! Record breaking pre-orders for this much awaited film saw requests for copies flooding in from all over the world. A wonderful introduction into working with watercolour minus the use of a preliminary sketch this DVD removes the fear, stress or pressure from worry about how to use watercolour. Instead the focus is on having fun, enjoying vibrant colour combinations and allowing the medium to create the subjects with just a little help from the artist. A really exciting new DVD to own. Whilst the DVD sold out in the first few months since its' release due to popularity it is now in stock and available directly from Town House Films.
