exhibition – AndyKnillArt

Purbeck Art Weeks run an opportunity to exhibit art in the cafe at RSPB Arne. I booked a spot 18 months ago and of course then just got on with everything else. This morning a week on from the intended start date (subject to illness) Jenny Hawkes took her exhibition down and I put mine up. Some new skills including how to use a hanging system (not my budget version used for Artisans on the Beach and my PAW Open Studio).

So a sunny start and I came out to great scenes from home.

Then it was off to Arne across Middlebere and HartsMoor. I stopped to watch the ponies on route.

Once Jenny’s pictures were taken down it was my turn. 11 pieces including a range of original pieces and giclée prints ranging from £35 to £250. If you visit and would like to buy a piece the RSPB will accept cash payments. To pay by card – contact me on andy@andyknillart.com.

Here is the view then zooming in from the counter in the cafe towards my pieces.

So, all cards printed and stock held by me and Swanage Tourist Office. I have also been asked to sketch the Art Workshop in Swanage for some charity flyers. Today I submitted and had a new piece accepted for the PAW exhibition that will run at The Etches Collection, Kimmeridge from 20 May to 11 June. Next piece to work on will be a piece for Verges exhibition also linked to PAW.

I attended a sketchbook workshop on Sunday 19 March which generated a number of ideas to investigate further. Stormy skies seen at Burton Bradstock on Tuesday afternoon has inspired the start of an acrylic piece – my first complete painting at the Art workshop Wednesday group I am currently doing. A second piece has started which will link to photos taken at home with various hares.

I am also working on a logo design. The week has seen orders placed for new art supplies and a wire carousel to display my cards in at events. My creativity is being tested as I come up with other ideas which I can pitch to local people, clubs and businesses for cards and / or prints.

A busy week with several successful outcomes. There are photos of all pieces on he Facebook page, they are blue tinted as the pictures were taken through the cellophane wrappers. A new page is to be created on this site asap with images of all collections , pricing and how to order.

I am hoping that March going into April can see a “spring” in sales.
All feedback gratefully received.
