I happened to walk by in the first week of December and was struck by Sarah Gillespie's dramatic 'Crow' displayed in the gallery window, just had to go in to see what else was on show and impulsively bid for both the Crow and Sam Bassett's 'Untitled' (even though Christmas was looming and I really shouldn't have). I was delighted to learn a few days later that both bids were successful - and here they are. Click to enlarge, copyright belongs to each artist.
