a visit from the local press...

we had a visit from the nice people at The Cornishman this morning to interview and photograph Alasdair and Simon ahead of their private view tomorrow evening


Alasdair's youngest daughter Tess wasn't entirely happy about having her photograph taken however, despite being bribed with chocolate....

the show looks fantastic and we're all looking forward to the private view.  There might even be a spot of tango dancing going on as Simon is a keen dancer and will have his dancing shoes on....

I am being expertly assisted in the gallery today by Ghibli. It may look as though he's lying back on the chaise-longue and taking it easy, but I can assure you he's got his paw on the pulse...

we were visited today by Lesley Double who is a journalist for Cornwall Life Magazine and the gallery will be featured in an article in the June issue which is great, really looking forward to seeing it.

Neil Pinkett - The Sea

we are mid way through Neil Pinkett's exuberant exhibition "The Sea" and we've had a huge amount of visitors over the Easter break. The private view was extremely busy despite the unseasonable awful weather and people were thrilled to spot a certain famous face amongst the throng - a certain someone who has started to collect Neil's paintings.



there is just one more week to go until the exhibition finishes on 22nd April, so for those who haven't seen it yet, make a trip over soon to see the sea captured in all it's glory by one of Cornwall's - if not the UK's - best land and seascape painter.
