This Exhibition finished at the end of July and was a great success. Most of the paintings were for sale and cards and prints. About 12 paintings sold ranging from 25 to 100 pounds. No mean feat, as any artist will tell you, that its amazing if you just sell one! I of course was byast towards my late sister Tina Sharp and got two. I now need a new wall! to display them. All this made possible by Anita Osborne and team at Birchwood. Here is one of my sisters paintings of the Rose Garden at Cliveden.

    Mary, thankyou. Yes I did.I have brought some of the residents paintings in the past but mostly my sisters. Many of her paintings and the other residents used to get snapped up, when they held their annual open art day at Birchwood, so I have to take whats still available of hers. This particular paintings isn't in my procession unfortunately but its nice to know its out there somewhere 😊
