'Spot the Artist' Rotary Club of St Ives 2014



The annual Rotary 'Spot the Artist' public event is underway and can be viewed today - Friday 19 and tomorrow Saturday 20 September - at St Ives School of Painting, from 10 am-4 pm.  Sale of the large postcard size artworks, all priced at £40 each, starts at 9 am on Sunday 21 September on a 'first come, first served' basis.

'Floral - Pedestal' this painting just evolved. Fun, fun and more fun! 'Floral - Feel Amazing'. I love this artwork!
