The work submitted for this is simply stunning.
I would strongly recommend everyone to try and get a look at it.

Best of luck with it Dee!

This exhibition opens on Friday 6th 5:30pm - 9:00 pm
If you are in the area do call by and join in the event.

I have just finished bubble wrapping, cataloguing and boxing all
28 sketches ready to hit the road in the morning.

This is a very unusual collection, ye just got to see it for yourself !!
