17th Nov 2012 ... Open House at Christmas
17th Nov 2012 ... Artists Open House at Christmas this year will of course be another must see event, BUT this year we are not opening here in Springfield Road.
INSTEAD we are showing with our daughter Shyama at her house a mile away.
She has always shown her paintings, prints, and cards here with us, but now she is opening for the first time and we are showing our paintings, prints, and cards at her house.
Here are the details.

10 November 2012 ... from the past
I have had another email from yet another collector who bought my paintings many years ago. It is always wonderful to get these kind of messages, I guess that they come in about once a month as people use the internet to search on my name.
One thing that is surprising is that people can read my signature enough to use it to make a Google search. When I painted and signed the originals mentioned in this latest query I certainly didn't realise that there would be such wonders as a Google search 35 years later.
These two kitchen paintings have travelled from Grappenhall which lies halfway between Liverpool and Manchester in the UK, to the USA where the owners now live.
Take note artists when signing your work ... create a legible and unique signature.

Just a quickie. I have been rather busy since the Spring doing a series of exhibitions all about our 2012 London Art project.
But it is all over now...phew!
So I am now writing it all up into a seminar presentation for the Fine Art Trade Guild.
Oh yes. Since the previous blog, I joined the Skylark Gallery cooperative on the South Bank near Oxo Tower. We had an incredibly busy Summer with the Olympics and Jubilee. More later.
Note to self....put off the procrastination until later. Get on with it.

Latest news about 2012 London Art
Latest
news.
Two
different '2012 London Art' exhibitions showing new paintings and prints by
Colin Ruffell and Fran Slade are happening right now!
Picturesque
art gallery in Billericay in Essex, and Frontispiece gallery in Canary Wharf
London are in full swing. Another gallery show in Islington has just ended, and
we have two more starting later this month. Phew!
The
galleries are showing framed originals on canvas from £7500 down to £125. Plus limited edition and
signed edition prints.
In Canary
Wharf there is a whopping diptych that would look rather splendid in someone's
boardroom if I say so myself. It comprises of a pair of adjoining original
paintings, five foot across, and will cost a keen corporate investor £11,250.
Luckily I
have also been painting some small ones recently. These have been great fun to
make using an impressionist loose-paint language. And hopefully these new
originals are good value and much more affordable at £125 to £500 depending on size.
And of
course we continue to make signed edition prints of suitable new work, which
means that there are still many opportunities to collect at very affordable
prices.
If by
chance, you are that rich banker with an empty spot in your boardroom, then
please get in touch.

30 Jan 2012 ... New painting finished!
The Shard is London's newest and tallest building yet to grace the stunning City skyline. The Shard is due to be finished in May. I have painted the view showing the unfinished building under construction with the crane on top. What a view that crane driver must have had.
My new painting, and the print, is formed from two square images that are designed to be displayed next to each other.
We will publish this as a Collectors Edition so that the image can be licensed for use as a card etc.
