This time yesterday evening I was at the Beresford Wine Bar and Gallery in Ayr.  I had been invited along with four of my Courtyard Studio colleagues – Chick McGeehan, Alison Thomas, David Reid and James O’Dea, to take part in a group exhibition at the Beresford gallery.

I’m delighted to report that the preview went well.  The work looked good and we had a good turn out – indeed, it was a very congested little place of an hour or so.  Gallery manager, Margaret, had asked us to provide about six pieces each and so I took the plunge and decided to include two of my new 80 x 80 cm oil paintings, two of the regular 30 x 30 cm pieces and two of the new post card size paintings.  It is the first time I’ve exhibited either the large oil paintings or any of the wee post card pieces ….so I was a little concerned quite how they’d look up on the wall.  Thankfully when we got there and I saw them up for the first time, I was quite pleased……I never like to go over the top …but yes, they seemed to work quite well.

Anyway, here are the six paintings I’ve included in the show.  Do get along to see it if you live in striking distance of Ayr….as well as being a very nice selection of work, you can get a very good meal at the Beresford Wine Bar too.  We all arrived early and had a very enjoyable meal before the preview started.  The show runs for a couple of months so I hope you can get along.  Full details below.
