SHAF Arts Trail 2023

After a long break – lockdown, house moves – I’m delighted to confirm that I will be taking part in the South Hams Art Forum (SHAF) Arts Trail this year.

Make a note in your diary!

Mon/Tue/Wed 16/17/18 Oct: by appointment
Thursday 19 October: 1-4pm

A welcome awaits you

As ever, there will be tea/coffee and cake. Lots of cake!

And we will be delighted to show you our new ‘gallery’ with my original paintings to view.

Plus my new studio, where I’m currently working on four paintings.

Plus the usual affordable art items: giclée prints, mugs, place mats, coasters, cushions, fridge magnets, key rings,, purses, pill boxes – and my fine art greetings cards.

We can take cards, as well as cash …

Parking at Fields End

Our new home is at the very bottom of Thurlestone Mead – aptly named Fields End – and you need to park on our drive, rather than in the road or the turning circle (local rules apply!). There is room for 6 cars, so we don’t anticipate problems …

Let’s pray for fine weather?

Art at Tidal Gallery

Sadly, the closure of Beacon House Gallery has meant the majority of my artwork going into store while Anne and I find ourselves a new home in the South Hams.

Stage one is complete: the sale of Beacon House. Stage two commences on 1 October when we move into a winter let. Stage three is to find a bungalow and move into it before 1 April 2022. If you have one to sell – let us know!

One door closes; another opens!

But, I’m delighted to announce that a selection of my original paintings are now on available at the Tidal Gallery in Kingsbridge and/or via their website.

Anna Ventura visited us at Beacon House a while back and chose six paintings to offer at Tidal Gallery:

Click the links in the list above to see the details for each individual painting or check out my artist page on the Tidal Gallery website to see them all.

Anna is also stocking a wide range of my fine art greetings cards.

Thanks, Anna!

When will my other artworks be available?

The plan is to make my art – including the affordable art range and my fine art greetings cards – available online in the near future. Watch this space!

Meanwhile, you can always contact me if you have a specific requirement.

Closing down sale ends 31 August

Beacon House Gallery is closing at noon on Tuesday 31 August.

Until then – rather than put my stock of paintings into store while we find a new home – all the original artworks on display in our gallery at Beacon House are on sale – at half the listed price.

Check the website to see what’s available?

If you are interested in buying a painting and/or want to arrange a private viewing, please telephone Anne on 07721 695044.

CLOSING DOWN SALE

It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform you that Anne and I are moving house – downsizing – and, as a result, Beacon House Gallery is closing down.

The good news is that – rather than put my stock of paintings into store while we find a new home – all the original artworks on display in our gallery at Beacon House are on sale – at half the listed price.

Check the website to see what’s available?

If you are interested in buying a painting and/or want to arrange a private viewing, please telephone Anne on 07721 695044.

OPEN! SALCOMBE ART CLUB SUMMER EXHIBITION 2021

The Salcombe Art Club Summer Exhibition is open!

The tourists are now here for the Summer and we hope many of them will visit the Loft Gallery to see the wonderful display of work by local artists.

MY PAINTINGS ON DISPLAY IN THE SUMMER EXHIBITION

On display in the Loft Studio, there are now five of my paintings.

148: All Aboard the East Portlemouth Ferry Acrylic £500

145: Schooner Sunset Acrylic £500

139: Watching the Merlins Race Oil £450

137: Longstone Oil £350

037: Deliah Acrylic £225

SUPPORTING LOCAL CAUSES

15% of the price goes to the Salcombe Art Club. This ‘income’ pays for the running costs, but also funds our charitable gifts to local causes.

This year’s beneficiaries were Erme Valley Riding for the Disabled

and Kingsbridge Food Bank .

Both are worthy causes!

South Hams Art Forum: news!

Like many others, Anne and I have found the past year somewhat challenging.

No art classes to attend. No exhibitions. No galleries to visit.

Not to mention the effect of ‘staying at home’ and worries as to how many more lockdowns might be needed.

But, it seems we are now returning to normal, and I’m returning to blogging at long last.

We must look on the bright side?

I’m delighted delighted that Anne and I have both had our two jabs. (We are still wearing our masks though.)
I’m delighted too that members of the South Hams Art Forum (SHAF) have spent the fallow months working on their amazing website.

Let’s celebrate!

SHAF website news

For a number of years, I’ve been a proud member of SHAF. Their website has recently been transformed and you can see works of mine and the many other talented artists there.

SHAF events at Harbour House

I’ve enjoyed taking part in the SHAF exhibitions at Harbour House in Kingsbridge in the past, and there are two events scheduled for Harbour House.

Both will provide opportunities for you to see the fantastic creations of a cross-section of SHAF artists.

SHAF Arts Trail: 16-31 October 2021

I’ve also enjoyed hosting the Arts Trail from my home, Beacon House, in Salcombe.

This year, things will be a bit different. Anne and I have decided we cannot host the Arts Trail (put that down to advanced years and recent health issues!) but we will be supporting SHAF artists all the same.

Watch this space!

However, we will continue to welcome visitors all year round. Contact me if you would like to arrange a time to view, by private appointment, at Beacon House Gallery, within my home in Salcombe. .

A new SHAF artist is featured each week on Instagram and Facebook.
