New English Art Club

I have kind of neglected the so called "fine art" side of my work due to lack of time and opportunity over the past few years so I have recently been trying to address this, first with that series of trial paintings of recent months and now entering competitions again. I was surprised to see that all three of my paintings I entered for the annual New English Art Club exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London have got through the pre-selection stage and I will be taking them up to London in April for the final judging. I have to add at this point that it is perfectly possible that none of them will make the show! 

All three of them started out as plein air paintings that I finished off in the studio, oil on board 18 1/2" x 18 1/2". They are "Oak Pool, Isfield", "Falling Tide, Shoreham Harbour" and "October Afternoon, Newtimber Hill".
