I thoroughly enjoyed the Varnishing Day reception at the Royal Academy yesterday. Very pleased to have my print ' There are Rooks Flying, Blowing in the Wind' included in this year's Summer Exhibition - though it would be useful to have a ladder on hand! So much interesting work on show, by both well-known names and unknown artists. My work is in Room V, curated by Barbara Rae and Hughie O'Donoghue. The exhibition runs from 10th June until 12th August.
No evidence of any varnishing! This day is for the exhibitors to see the exhibition for the first time. The Service for Artists beforehand at St James's Church on Picadilly was an interesting experience too! Beautiful building inside.
