Collie portrait completed and two shows open

Two new exhibitions have just opened in London and both will be well worth a visit. The Society of Women Artists show is at the Mall Galleries and features around 500 works in a variety of media, including four of my miniature paintings (apologies for the poor photo below). I noticed there is also an exhibtion of sculpture from Zimbabwean artists on at the same time (Mystery in Stone) which looks intriguing too.

Four miniatures currently on display at the SWA and an Oriental Lily at the SBA

The Society of Botanical Artists exhibtion is at Central Hall, Westminster (just a short distance from The Mall Galleries on the other side of St James Park). By all accounts it is a beautiful show of around 700 works - Katherine Tyrrell was at the private view and has posted a two part review over at Making a Mark.

I'm a little behind here Tracy, but the collie looks beautiful. Love the two different eye colors.

Thanks so much everyone. Wish I could have seen the shows too, Jeanette, lucky Katherine got to go to the SBA one thrice!
