The Cambridge Drawing Society is a little later than usual this year as the venue, the Pitt Building, has undergone a massive upgrade. Delighted to see all those posts are now gone which means it will be so much easier to exhibit artworks.

Again the four paintings I entered have been accepted. It is always a great feeling when the panel choose all my entries.

Above are 2 of my works accepted, the other two are in my next blog.

'Chasing Geese' is just a fantasy picture. I came across a reference to a lady chasing some geese in an old medieval book. The geese don't look particularly frightened by her traditional besom but I expect they eventually go wherever the shepherdess wants them. Painted in oil on canvas with copper leaf.

The second painting 'Gibbs Building on the Backs' is the classic view of Cambridge with the Gibbs Building next to King's College Chapel. Usually the chapel is always mentioned but I wanted to draw attention to the building next to it, also beautiful in its own right.
