Cambridge Drawing Society's Spring Exhibition My painting 'Sleep Tight' has been chosen for the promotional material (left) for the Cambridge Drawing Society's Spring Exhibition. Regular visitors to the exhibition will know that this is an extensive mixed exhibition of paintings, prints, drawings and sculptures by Cambridge artists, mostly of a figurative nature. The Private View is a very busy event, and for the second year it is taking place at the Pitt Building on Trumpington Street, Cambridge, but now over two rooms as last year it was extremely crowded with both works and punters. Saturday 1st April to Saturday 8th April. Open every day 10:00-17:30. Free admission. The Pitt Building, Trumpington Street, Cambridge. CB2 1RP www. cambridgedrawingsociety.org |
Visitor's Favourite
This new large charcoal drawing, called 'The Other Gardener', has won the 'Visitor's Favourite' at The Cambridge Drawing Society's Autumn Exhibition. Selected from so many other paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture, I am really pleased to learn it was way ahead, and follows previous winners 'Old Mr Farrer, Up The Road' and 'The Bowmaker'. LIke me the voters clearly like craggy old geezers! Picture still available to buy.

dakinart & NOVI
I am now on Instagram and can be found at 'dakinart' where I'm going to put up regular images of things I'm working on, ideas etc so if you fancy more updates of what I'm up to, look it up.
One of the main reasons for going onto Instagram is to build up to the exhibition I will be holding in Novi in 2017. Novi is a newly revamped coffee and cocktail bar on Cambridge's Regent Street, pretty much on the corner of Parker's Piece (formerly The Fountain) and has amazing space for I reckon about 12 new artworks, all based upon things and people and happenings in the bar itself.
Watch this space for exhibition dates.

A LOOK BACK ON CAMBRIDGE OPEN STUDIOS 2016
So Open Studios has been and gone, and it went pretty well all in all. The first weekend saw many more people through the doors than I was expecting (150), and though over weekends 2 and 3 attendance dropped off, that allowed me more time to meet visitors and get more accustomed to talking about my work etc.
Next year I may go for just two weekends (which my family may appreciate!), and at the time of writing I'm hoping to cover my walls with entirely new works.
