Wey Gallery "Essence of an Artist" Solo Exhibition 2013

"Favourite Winner"
£2795
SOLD

Last Friday was the Private Preview of my solo exhibition "Essence of an Artist" which opened at the Wey Gallery in Godalming, Surrey.  The show looked wonderful when I arrived early before the doors officially opened. I knew this could be my only chance to gain a few photographs  on the night, and I was right!  The wall on the right as you enter the Wey Gallery showcased some of my horse racing scenes whilst opposite on the left there was a display of floral paintings including geraniums and Spring daffodils. Once inside, the variety of subjects displayed led you through to owls, hare, dogs and pheasant and then further into the gallery there is a further selection of  my watercolours including Cyclists, Venice and people were in the  next room of the gallery.

Solo Exhibition 2013


The champagne flowed, so much so that I am still suffering a little today from enjoying myself on the night. The party that followed the opening went on until one in the morning so it was amazing that I made it to the demonstration at the gallery that I gave the next day! Thank you so much to everyone who braved the snow to visit the gallery and watch my demonstrations that day.

Unfortunately the key piece of the show  " Favourite Winner" shown at the top of this post, sold before the exhibition  had even opened so I am afraid the cover painting from the catalogue is not on display. The owners were at the Preview and as they love it so much I know it will be in a great home. It will be flying to Australia in the near future.

The show will run through until April so please visit if you can. For those who live further away there is an online catalogue available from the Wey Gallery web site. Many of my pieces are shown in the  online display so  you can visit the gallery to see my show, virtually via this link.

Wey Gallery Exhibition Greeting Card Collection 2013

"Too Whom"
Original Watercolour and Greeting Card Design 
from the "Jean Haines" Wey Gallery  Collection 2013

This morning I placed my order for the greeting card designs that will be launched along with their original paintings at my solo exhibition, "Essence of an Artist", which opens with a Private Preview on March 22nd, 2013. 

The card collection will be on sale exclusively at the gallery during the show and includes two horse racing scenes, one cycling race, an owl, a dog and a pheasant.

It was really difficult choosing just six designs but each represents a favourite subject of mine that I adore painting. 

These cards  look wonderful framed,to be given as gifts or simply to send to a friend!

I am really looking forward to the show opening as the colours and selection of subjects is now so varied that even for me as the artist excitement is building at seeing over fifty original paintings on display.

You can  find full details about my solo show via 


Please note: This show is a celebration of my passion for watercolour and everyone is welcome.

"Watercolours With Life" Exhibition Opens Today in Surrey

THE WEY GALLERY 
GODALMING
Surrey UK


Opening today from 1.0 p.m -3.0 p.m
Everyone Welcome

After all the hard work of painting and  putting the collection together for my " Watercolours With Life" Exhibition at theWey Gallery in Godalming,Surrey the day had finally arrived for the opening.

The gallery have been a delight to work with due to their professional attitude. Months previously the collection was discussed follwing the initial invitation from last year for me to show in 2011. Planning ahead in detail down to invitations,subjects to be in the exhibition and promotion for the event has been an ongoing and enjoyable process.



I  visited the gallery on Friday of this week just to check everything was  in place  so that there wouldn't be any last minute glitches and there were none. Together as an artist I have worked with the gallery so that  today will be one to enjoy and I cannot wait for the moment when I walk through the doors for the opening.

 I would highly recommend a visit to the Wey Gallery. They showcase a wonderful  variety of art and are located in the heart of  Godalming, a really quaint town in Surrey , UK.

"As an independent gallery we strive to offer an exciting mix of Paintings, Original limited edition prints, Sculpture and Ceramics by new up and coming talent along with modern masters, including Craigie Aitchison CBE, RA, Sir Peter Blake RA, Sir Terry Frost and John Hoyland RA."

If you are there this afternoon from one to three I look forward to meeting you. All the art in my show will be online to view from the opening of the preview.
