What a night

7/19/2013

So had what I'm sure will turn out to be one of the best nights of the summer, if not the year.  Went along to the opening night party for the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists Portrait Prize.  Spent the day enjoying the vibrancy of Birmingham including the world class Barber Institute of Fine Arts.  (totally blown away).  As an artist enjoyed chit chatting with fellow portrait painters especially one of my painting heros Simon Davis (see below).  The level of quality was very high, so high that I felt grateful to be able to show my work amongst them.
