Solo Show at Torrance Gallery Edinburgh
Posted on September 9th, 2011
My annual solo show at Torrance Gallery, Edinburgh is scheduled to open on 24 September.
My inspiration has come from my recent visits to my home in France, where the lavender, sunflowers and vineyards provided a wealth of colour and texture.
You will be able to preview the show on the Torrance website in the week before the exhibition.
I am taking part once again in the Scottish Show at Iona House Gallery in Woodstock in Oxfordshire, which will feature, as requested, the vibrancy of autumn in my canvases. The reception party is on October 15th.
