Last 2 days of 'This is it' exhibition at Artsite

This member's exhibition at Artsite is well worth a visit.
It's open today and tomorrow from 11am-4pm
I photographed a couple of superb examples of work, firstly from Sally Taylor, a gorgeous portrayal of a family group:

 And a couple of Paula Sullivan's mosaics which capture the essence of the vibrancy of plants:

I have now bought the mosaic above which is called 'Enchanted Garden'.
It looks wonderful in my kitchen.

Aren't they gorgeous?

The Swindon Open Studios website is gradually taking shape, it's the images from the people taking part that give it some life.

We're having an evening to promote Open Studios on the 27th of May at Artsite. It was called a Promotional Event, some think it should be called an Open Evening.

Whatever it's called, we'd like 2 jpegs from people hoping to take part this year.
Please send them to swindonopenstudios@hotmail.co.uk as soon as possible and they will be uploaded to the website.
Have a look at www.swindonopenstudios.org.uk
I received these images today:

The top one is Gordon Dickinson's 'Flight of birds', then Jane Milner-Barry's 'Wineglass' and thirdly Toni Dickinson's 'Suneya'.
