Exhibition Time
It's that time of year again and I always know when exhibition season has arrived as I don't seem to get a moment spare. I have been burning the midnight oil and have been drawing quite a few new pics for my forthcoming shows. After a strange year when the media have been constantly telling us the economy is in dire straits, which is obviously undeniable , business for me as an artist has been fairly good with only the usual slump that occurs every summer.
I am exhibiting with two new galleries this autumn and I am very excited about both. The first show will be with new gallery Bianco Giglio Gallery recently opened by Infinartums Amanda Shivrell in Crowthorne Berks. Mandy has wanted a gallery for sometime so this is almost her dream come true and if ever there was a right person to run a gallery it is her. When she invited me to do a show I was more than pleased to help out as I know that judging by her previous shows Amanda always puts on a superb evening . Bianco Giglio Gallery will be holding the opening night on Friday 30th October and the show will run for several weeks. For those of you interested in attending the preview opening night, you can either contact the gallery for an invitation or email hawksbill fine art who will be more than happy to help sales@hawksbill.co.uk . I can assure you that it will be well worth it with many new originals on show and new print releases.

For invitations please email sales@hawksbill.co.uk
The second show will be held at The Picture Framing Gallery in Eastleigh Hants. This show will fill the usual slot that Enigma fine Art usually hold their annual open day at the Marriott hotel Portsmouth. Enigma have now decided to cease trading after the sad illness of Simon this year . Enigma announced that without Simon it was always going to be hard to run the business as he was without doubt the driving force. For those of you who know Simon you will be aware that Simon very rarely just had customers as he believed in making all his clients good friends and over many years he has become somewhat of a legend in the area of wildlife fine art sales. Although it is sad to loose Simon for a while I am sure we have not seen the last of him as when I last spoke with him he was making a truly miraculous recovery.
I have been trading with the Picture Framing Gallery for some years now and it seemed that due to their location, and client crossover with Enigma ,they were without doubt the most suitable candidates to takes over the show. Rather than holding it at the Marriott we decided to hold it at their gallery on the high street Eastleigh. The Gallery is easily accessible from the motorway ,parking is good and there are several big chain hotels located nearby for those of you who travel some distance and like to make a weekend of it. If you require any more details about the location you can either do a map search on google or contact the gallery direct who will be more than happy to be of assistance. The show itself will be held on Sunday the 22nd of November the day after the turning on of town centre Christmas lights. The large shopping centre will be open and will hopefully have a really nice Christmas feel and will make a pleasant afternoon. We sincerely hope that customers of Enigma and from the Hampshire area will continue their devoted support through this new Gallery ,who incidentally did the framing for Enigma and will be able to cater for many of your framing needs.

You're right Vince. This image is mind bogglng, and having seen the limited edition in 'real time' now,I very much doubt it will be around for much longer.
David Wood seems to have the unique ability to bring a sort of feeling and compassion to this type of image, and considering all he has to work with is a pencil, it is a talent one cannot teach, buy or sell.
I've always felt slightly uneasy about over complimenting people with a unique tallent, less one day comes along and you suddenly feel slightly 'let down'.
However when confronted with a drawing of this outstanding quality and nobility, just what can one say or do ?
I felt the same way all those years ago when viewing 'Anticipation' as work in progress. You only needed to gaze into the eyes to realise you were seeing somethine very special.
Rock on David, after all this time you're still the finest mate.
