Scotland Here We Come

Packing up again!  We are setting off for Edinburgh Art Fair today.  I am so excited, we have so many brilliant works of art to take I cant wait to hang them all and bathe in the glow as we talk to people about such rare and wonderful beauties.  We honestly have such talented artists and a marvellous breath of styles and expression.
Here is a sneaky preview, we are taking about 70 art works from the huge and magnificent to the tiny and amazing.  We also have some new surprises.

Star of The Show

We had a very successful show at the Edinburgh Art Fair with our artists and their outstanding work being hugely appreciated.  We were extremely proud of the caliber of the work that Beside The Wave represents and it was a genuine pleasure to be able to meet so many people and to talk about the work that we had on show.  The work of Sarah Wimperis flew off the walls, Andrew Tozer's new paintings were very popular, Emma Dunbar's work was much admired as was Robert Jones and Anne Marie Butlin.  Miles Heseltine, as per the Art Fair in London, attracted genuine acclaim from fellow painters and Danny Markey's work was also appreciated.
One painting, it has to be said, was the star of the show.  Night View by Ashley Hold. This attracted so much attention.  People were coming back two or three times to have another look, bringing their friends and having lively discussions about what they could see in the painting, gasps of delight as they spotted yet another nuance and huge admiration for the skill involved in such a complex work of art.
We were delighted to be able to live with this painting for three days and found that it stayed with us long after the show closed each night, informing the way that we looked at, through and beyond the reflections in night windows, creating a still and quiet contemplation of the human condition.  It is a rare thing to be the conduit of such a work of art, and it feels like an honour.
