Shropshire Open 2014

The Shropshire Open exhibition opens on Monday 13th October in Shrewsbury at Gallery3 in the Gateway. There are about 70 works on display in a variety of media. A very interesting show and worth a visit.

I was delighted to have two works accepted and attended the private view last night.

fungi

Underfoot in mixed woods of birch and beech; various fungi. One day I’ll learn about them all (but not yet… for now, textures and shapes).

Rainy walk today through South Staffordshire woodland, dripping leaves and mud underfoot, glimpses of open water through the trees.

Today along the Staffordshire and Worcester canal at Dimmingsdale. Late dragonflies and butterflies, last nectar of the year for the loud frenzy of bees on the ivy blossom, heavy scents in the unseasonal warmth, grey wagtails bobbing along with sudden flutters of wings as flies pass by, still reflections in the water.
