Hi everybody, at last I’m starting to overcome my total incompetence with the 21st Century and its technology. Kate, who built this site, has bullied me into writing this blog. This first entry is about what Sal and I are doing right now and how it fits in with L’Atellier du Soulondre.
As you may tell by my work, I’m a modern realist with a classical background so it is difficult, these days, to find an agent or gallery who likes my work enough to take a chance, and give me either an exhibition or represent me to the world. Of course I could be happy to have paintings on the walls of the local bank or restaurant, BUT, I’ve already done that and sold a few… a few… not many though… so think Shakespeare, “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune…” (O.K. so it’s said by Brutus in Julius Caesar – he lost — but still it’s the thought that counts.)
So, Sal and Kate got together and produced a three-fold brochure with eight or so paintings and contact details, and on and we flew to Florida. Why?
