Being a big fan of "views" paintings and the use of pen and ink I absolutely loved the two paintings by Catharine Davison whose work I've never seen before. I'm going to be taking a long slow wander around her website.

The exhibition
The 2014 exhibition can be seen at the Mall Galleries this week until Sunday 22nd March. I'm not sure when I'm getting to it but having seen the images of selected works online I'm definitely going to pay a visit - book or no book! (TIP: Such is the power of the online virtual exhibition - it actually generates traffic if you've got a good selection!)The exhibition comprises of 85 drawings and paintings by 78 artists.
Now in its ninth year, the Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize is a
I don't know what they did to the selection of judges this year but they've come up trumps with an excellent selection! The judges were:
- Peter Clossick, Artist;
- Ken Howard OBE RA NEAC, Artist;
- Paul Newland, Artist;
- Steve Pill, Editor Artists and Illustrators magazine;
- and Andrew Wilton, Visiting Research Fellow at Tate Britain.
I was keen to try and view each work from the perspective of a wider audience. The two stated aims of the Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize are to encourage creative representational painting and promote the skill of draughtsmanship, so I often asked myself: would we be fulfilling that promise by including this work? Would a visitor expecting these qualities be truly satisfied by every painting we chose? I hope you’ll agree that we have stayed true to those principles and selected a collection of work that really celebrates the vitality, diversity and skill of contemporary representational painting in the UK today.
