Just 2 days to go before it all comes down! The Just 2 days to go before it all comes down! 

The Private View last week of the latest @easterlyartists' exhibition "Ways of Looking"  was a huge success, with over 100 people packed into @holton_lodge_barn to hear guest artist @laurenceedwards.bronze Laurence Edwards speak. But all good things have to come to an end and, sadly, this show is no exception. 

The good news is that it doesn't finish till 5pm tomorrow, Tuesday 5 August, so you still have plenty of time to get over to Holton to see it before it finishes. 

This is (part of, thanks to Instagram's formatting rules!) one of the pieces I have on show: "Longing" (103 x 53 cm, oil on canvas). 


You’ll find "Ways of Looking" at Holton Lodge Barn, The Street, Holton IP19 8PN. We're open daily 11am - 5pm and there's plenty of free parking on site.

This is "Through Light and Space (54 x 54 cm)". This is "Through Light and Space (54 x 54 cm)". 

I was recently very pleased to donate it to @jamespagethospital James Paget Hospital in Lowestoft, to thank them for the extraordinary care they took in looking after my husband Miles when he was with them last year to treat his Lymphoma. 

It will go on display in Ward 17, where he stayed for several weeks while successfully undergoing his chemotherapy.
