The Royal Miniature Society will soon be staging their annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London, running from Tuesday October 11th until Sunday October 23rd and I'll have six paintings in the show (above).
This is always a truly fantastic show and very much worth a visit if you can go along. Despite the current economic climate, the past three years have seen record sales. Admission is free and there are daily demonstrations by miniature artists throughout the fortnight. Congratulations to Ihtesham Hassan who was awarded the Gold Memorial Bowl (Best in Show) for the beautiful portrait 'Mirage', which can been seen on the main page of the Society website now.
Update: There is a brilliant review of the exhibition by Katherine Tyrrell on her blog Making a Mark.
I was also delighted to be told I have now been elected a full member of the RMS, having been an associate member for the past two years. This is a great honour and I'm very happy!
This year there is an added bonus - a unique opportunity to see a collection of Royal Portrait Miniatures dating from Elizabeth 1st to the present Queen. The exhibition is curated by Richard Chadwick, a leading historian and researcher of portrait miniatures, and features works loaned from private collections worldwide, including many pieces that have never been seen in public before.
On the right is one of the portraits that will be on display, Charles I by John Hoskins c. 1640 (watercolour on vellum). Please check the RMS website to see more.

How awesome, Tracy. Wish you many sales.
I wish I could make the trip to London. Your paintings are so beautiful and incredible especially given the scale at which you work.
Congratulations Tracy! Thanks for the informative post and links.
