I visited two exhibitions at the Mall Galleries yesterday. The RSMA was having its Private View which, oddly enough, I never find an ideal time to view an exhibition - because of all the people!

| RSMA 69th Annual Exhibition 2014 - Private View at the Mall Galleries this afternoon |
I will be going back for an end of exhibition and "who did well (prizes/sales)?" review (Part 2) towards the middle/end of next week after a short trip I need to make which takes me out of London.
The subject matter of the paintings is defined as follows
The subject matter must be essentially marine in nature, relating in some way to tidal waters of the world; topographical, historical, still life, and figure painting are all welcomed. Most media are acceptable, including oils, watercolour, acrylics, pastels, drawings, prints and sculpture.
Anyway - here's the exhibition as per the panoramic feature on my new iPhone. I discovered yesterday that this takes better pics in artificial light than my camera!
You can see these bigger if you right click and open in a new tab.

I have a very stupid question. How do you get the iphoone to take that kind of wide view photos? Is it new for the Iphone 6 or is it an app?
ReplyDeleteI really smile when I read the text and look at your photos- where else in the world could there be a special society for only marine artists but in Britain? You british are wonderful when it comes to aknowledge all the different forms of art:-)!
It's the panoramic view on my new iPhone 6 camera - I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe great thing about being an island nation is we are all no more than 70m miles from the sea - and much less than that from a tidal river.
