Posted on December 1, 2013 by notes to the milkman

So we’d got our boxes of 20:20 prints (see last post) and swapped a few  with other printers taking part. (This really emphasises to me how subjective art is. A print which one person dislikes is a gem to another.) … Continue reading →

The first day of the art fair at Delicieux was disappointing but the second day was much better for all the artists involved. I sold two framed prints and a couple of unframed ones from my Doug Wellyn’s Potting Shed Prints. … Continue reading →

Looking At What’s On The Walls

Posted on June 6, 2013 by notes to the milkman

A couple of years ago, the Management and I went down to Birmingham to visit the National Trust’s Back to Backs. (Worth going to see, Mike, if you’ve not already been.) After an enjoyable trip round we retired to an … Continue reading →
