Flavel Arts Centre Joint Exhibition

Event

Devon Artist Network, also known as DAN, is hosting another exhibition at the Flavel, showcasing the work of some of their members. I am happy to have two paintings in the exhibition.


Taking the Paintings

Delivery day was Monday – a wet but bright day for the journey which was a 2-hour drive through the countryside skirting the edge of Dartmoor. It was very slow through some very winding roads but beautiful to see.

helpersI arrived to find David, the organiser from DAN, needing some help with the hanging. A few other artists were already helping but I joined in too. It was nice to get a feel for the place and to have a change before going home.

I enjoyed meeting a few other artists including Jackie Wills; she makes beautiful waistcoats but she had a picture too “Black Horses on Red One”

The two paintings I am showing are ‘Last Rays‘ and  ‘Dartmoor Snow

Dartmouth

Dartmouth small harbour

Never having been to Dartmouth before I nipped out to see the harbour and sat awhile on a bench by the little inner harbour near the Arts Centre. What a picturesque place! There were plenty of people about – quite a contrast with my local village.

Dartmouth evening lights

By the time I set off for home  it was almost dark and the lights were twinkling over the water.

    • Thank you David, I look forward to seeing you again in December – unless everything has sold by then!

      It was a great pleasure to meet you and your helpful photographer friend. I’m sorry, her name escapes me. She did a fine job of getting the pictures up balancing precariously on sofas, stools and ladders.

    • Thank you Jackie, for taking the trouble to read and comment. Your work is fab too, art to wear and use = art to enjoy and rediscover.
