My painting wins The Weald of Sussex Art Club Trophy




Last week I took part in the Weald of Sussex Art Club exhibition at The Martlets Hall, in Burgess Hill. This is an annual exhibition by an art club that has been running for over 40 years, in fact back in the seventies my dad was a member and I would go along to his exhibitions there! Anyway, on Saturday when I went to collect my remaining works I was really happy to receive the Weald Trophy for the most votes for visitor's favourite painting.
My painting of Eastbourne beach received the votes, and sold.
I blogged about this painting in progress, a few months ago. It is now being sold as a Christmas card to raise funds for SASBAH and is available from Cards for Good Causes shops in Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Lewes, Eastbourne, Uckfield and Hastings. I think also Brighton. Already 200 packs have been sold in the last week so it looks like it should earn the Charity lots of money : )
A jigsaw will also be available for Friends of Eastbourne Hospital, but you may have to make a trip to Eastbourne if you want that.
Thanks so much to anyone who voted for my painting, you made my week : ))
