That a wrap on a really fun week- wonderful to hang out with so many friends and inspiring painters. Taking away many great memories. Delighted both paintings sold at the exhibition. The exhibition runs until tommorow at 5 in Greenacres - highly recommend a visit, stunning work there.
Thanks to everyone at Art in the Open for all their hard work in putting a such an amazing festival.
