Season's Greetings

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the very best for Christmas and the New Year. Earlier this year I was invited to be a council member for The Hilliard Society of Miniature artists, this has taken up my time, trying to promote the society via social media. It has been a juggling act between spending time online and at my desk creating new artworks. As you may have noticed I have been very amiss in updating this blog, but perhaps like me you have an Instagram account? Mine is Acornmoonart. If you have an account there too please say hello. My other news is that after many happy years getting to know people on Etsy I very reluctantly decided to close my shop there. There were technical issues which I could not resolve and I am sorry to say that I ran out of patience trying to contact support. They say every cloud has a silver lining, I have discovered the UK site Folksy which seems to me a lot like the Etsy of old. my shop there is also called Acornmoon and I am open for business here.

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.

It was lovely to catch up with artist friends and to have the chance to explore more of this wonderful old city. Wells is England's smallest city with a cathedral, Bishop's Palace and wonderful gardens. 

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.
