The Hilliard Society of Miniature Art Annual Exhibition
We visited Wells again this year to attend the opening of The Hilliard Society exhibition of miniature paintings. I entered three miniatures this year which will be displayed until the end of the week, if you cannot attend in person you can see the exhibition online here… https://www.hilliardsociety.org/exhibitiononline.html There are many wonderful pieces for sale, I do hope you can visit if only online.
Sadly we could not stay too long as following hot on the heels of this exhibition is The Royal Society Of Miniature Art exhibition at The Bankside Gallery. I will be submitting eight new miniatures for this, details to follow.

Royal Society Miniatures
The miniature painting was one of six to be chosen for the Art in Miniature Exhibition at Bankside gallery this summer.
I also demonstrated painting during the exhibition and met lots of lovely people, although I was very nervous to paint with an audience. I completed my "Don't forget the bees" piece.

The Royal Miniature Society's 125th Anniversary Exhibition
Yesterday we travelled down to London for the day to see the RMS exhibition at The Mall Gallery. I had entered seven paintings and was delighted to have all paintings accepted for the show. I was delighted to learn that I had won two awards.
The first award was the Society's award for the best collection of five or more works. I entered a set of six gilded bird paintings which I had been working on earlier in the year.
The second award was an Honourable Mention for the Golden Memorial Bowl. This was for my painting Wren with Ivy, shown above.
It was lovely to meet up with friends old and new and to see close up all the wonderful miniature exhibits.
The exhibition runs until December 5th, details are on the Society's website. Entry is free but you need to book a ticket.
Most of the paintings are for sale and would make the most beautiful gifts, also on sale are greetings cards featuring the artworks of our members. Please visit if you are able, I think you would be entranced.
