Charity Art Auction for Cornwall Hospice Care

There have been at least 100 submissions of artwork to an auction in aid of Cornwall Hospice Care which takes place at The Exchange Gallery, Penzance on Saturday 3 May.  Donations have come from artists across Cornwall, all of whom are listed in the accompanying catalogue, which can be downloaded here

The Gallery is open for viewing on Friday 2 May, 10am - 5pm; Saturday 3 May, 10am - 3pm, 7pm - 8pm.

David Lay is conducting the auction so there won't be a dull moment on the night, plus there will be delicious edibles, some bubbly and also music from the Four Tunes Saxophone quartet.   Definitely an evening not to to miss!!

I have donated two original paintings (below) which hopefully will help raise some money on the night for this deserving cause.

This includes a piece of anaglypta from Carol Parsons painting class back in March, 2009? This particular piece of wallpaper has already been used to 'print paint to canvas'. Victoria Hilliard produces lovely ceramic pictures inspired by nature, including the portrayal of moths and butterflies. Would I have produced this collage if Tori were not a member of Art Space Gallery? Maybe not. Everything is 'grist to the visual mill' as far as artists are concerned. 'Floral - Pedestal' this painting just evolved. Fun, fun and more fun! 'Floral - Feel Amazing'. I love this artwork! My daughter's boyfriend bought her flowers, including old fashioned roses, which provided the inspiration for the flowers at the top of the painting and the cellophane wrapper is...
