The first is the Society of Feline Artists - Annual Exhibition 2012 at the Llewellyn Alexander Gallery, 124 -126 The Cut, Waterloo, London SE1 8LN UK ( across the Road from the Old Vic and Waterloo Station).
This is the annual exhibition which shows work by full and associate members of SOFA. It opened on Thirsday, has its PV on Tuesday and continues until 14th September. You can also see a lot of photos of the exhibition on Flickr - See the album on flickr and See them as a slide show.
My friend Gayle Mason (Fur in the Paint) has got two in the window - of which one is also on the front cover of the PV invite (below). Gayle and I normally go to see the show together - but she's busy looking at wildlife in Yellowstone National park and Canada at the moment. If you want to see the best you need to go early as people who buy paintings are allowed to take them away and they are then replaced with other paintings.
The second exhibition is Louis Wain and the Summer Cat Show at the Chris Beetles Gallery 8 & 10 Ryder Street, St James's, London SW1Y 6QB (facing the rear of Christies).
This opened on the 18th August and continues until 9th September.
This includes paintings by Lesley Fotherby (I like the multiple view studies), Geraldine Girvan (I love the watercolour paintings - I'd love to a mix of still life and cats), Susan Herbert (a very amusing take on both subjects and artists styles!) and Lesley Anne Ivory as well as work by the late great Louis Wain
You can see a video of art by Susan Herbert on YouTube
Both exhibitions are excellent shows for lovers of feline art - and two exhibitions makes a wonderful reason for a trip to London for those who are 'out of towners'!
