Hello!
I trust you all had a good Christmas and are getting settled into the new year of 2012!
I’m happy to tell you that I feel invigorated after my 2 weeks off over the holidays. I’ve not taken 2 weeks off together for a few years, and despite having a really horrible virus over new year and the first week of January, it was really worth it.
Over the last week I have been working with my Dad, Henry W Vincent in organising our first exhibition together. I’m so proud to tell you that Dad and I will be putting on a show in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk starting 31st March. Its very exciting as he hasn’t ever had an exhibition despite being a good artist. He’s now 68 and is really happy to finally be doing a show! We are both landscape artists, in acrylics and watercolours. We differ in our styles though – Dad is a realist painter and I am a contemporary painter. We are both influenced by landscapes that we encountered as young people – for Dad it is the Mourne Mountains in Northern Ireland and for me it is fields and trees of Suffolk/Norfolk. I’m really looking forward to this exhibition and I will share more with you as time progresses over the next 10 weeks and through the launch event on 31st March.
Here is an example of Dad’s work:

In other news, I have finally moved my studio. I have a whole room now, with 3 easels and a table to work on! Such bliss!! I moved over last Friday, Saturday and Sunday and started work in there today! Its such a nice room. It faces North too which is great as there’s no glaring sunshine, just diffuse light.
Here are some photos:
I’ll be spending many hours in here – it feels just right already 
That’s all for now, see you next time with some photos of happy customers and their paintings hopefully ☺
