I am not an artist of high output in fact you could say I only paint when I'm not quilting. The point I'm trying to make is that I see so many terribly executed works that I think I could do so much better....this must be therefore self perpetuating 'bad amateur artists' to keep entering!? I would much rather be in awe of the artwork on display and not have to constantly pick my jaw up. I think I shall not visit this year, so thanks for your review, I do always read them xxSelfsewnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05023009578324548173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-90104123773663841032016-06-21T19:54:59.579+00:002016-06-21T19:54:59.579+00:00I really enjoyed reading this, thank you.

Love Norman Ackroyd's work, can't they just have all his work on display instead?;)<br />The RA Summer Exhibition is always billed as the ultimate aim for amateur artists but I wonder whether it really is the best thing to do or, as has been noted, when there is such an overwhelming amount of work on display, can it become it's own worst enemy by diluting the impact of individual artworks? It's good to see lot's of sales though - was that down to works being relatively affordable or was it a mixture of affordable and investment?Jamie Sugg Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13945012111940840838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-73250562169405629892016-06-20T17:44:35.328+00:002016-06-20T17:44:35.328+00:00I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post. Thank you ...I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post. Thank you for introducing me to the work of Anja Kempa and Miriam de Burca. Both beautiful. I couldn't agree more with you about Norman Ackroyd. It really is sad that so many people didn't stop to appreciate Anono Fumiaki's work. It's too bad there couldn't have been someone there to say "please take another look at this work, this is what's going on" so that people who don't "understand" could learn about it.Melissa B.
