I must tell everyone I was in London this morning with 2 hrs to spare and went to see the Royal Society of Portrait Painters Annual Exhibition!!!

I was so excited, I went round the paintings 4 times before we had to rush off to get back to Luton for the plane.

It was amazing to see such a mixture of styles techniques etc, and the best bit about it is that the completely unknown artists work is shown alongside that of the artists belonging to the society.

Here's a couple of links to the gallery and the RSPP http://www.mallgalleries.org.uk/calendar.html

Definitely something to aspire to......who knows next year .

Only disappointment was that there were less that half a dozen pastels there.

I'm really motivated now off to work on my next one....
