Delighted that my painting of books in a tree titled 'Untitled' has been accepted from over 900 entries for the Summer Exhibition at the lovely Royal Birmingham Society of Artists.

I love the energy and the art of Birmingham and visit whenever I can. My son lives there and he set up and runs Birmingham Open Studios after seeing how much artists and art lovers enjoyed the original Cambridge version.

The exhibition finishes runs from 18 June to 1st August so there is plenty of time to visit. The gallery is an artist led charity situated in the Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham.
