As I settle down to write this month’s welcome, I’m still buzzing from the amazing camaraderie and creativity of this year’s Patchings Festival (July 11- 14). From joining my fellow judges, including David Curtis and John Sprakes, to help judge the prizewinners in this year’s The Artist Open Competition & Exhibition (view online at www.painters-online.co.uk/gallery/PatchingsGallery.htm and see next month’s issue for our special feature), to the opportunity to meet up with so many artists in such a wonderful outdoor setting, it’s definitely one of the year’s highlights for me.
