I was pleased to receive a notification earlier today that my two submissions to the Calderdale Open Art Exhibition have been accepted. The exhibition which runs from the 30th September to the 9th April is held at the Smith Art Gallery in Brighouse, West Yorkshire. Despite the fact that the gallery is in my home town this will be the first time that I have exhibited my work there since I was 7 or 8 years old, when I had a painting of a Hull Trawler shown there in an exhibition of local school childrens art. The only thing I remember about this being visiting the exhibition with my parents and getting really upset because the gallery had labelled the work as the Fighting Trip rather than the Fishing Trip as I had titled it. Anyway the two accepted works are the mezzotints below and as they are both signed and titled below the image there shouldn't be any problems this time.

In other news I will be at the Hebden Bridge Print Fair at the Town Hall on the 23rd and 24th September. Local for me, it makes a nice change to only have to travel a couple of miles up the valley from my home. Further afield, I have been invited to take part in Great Print 9 at the Rheged Centre in Penrith, Cumbria. This exhibition runs from the 8th December to 3rd March.
