Summer exhibitions: 4 of 6








With Maggie O'Brien(left) and Amanda Hoskin.

Polly Edwards, Julie McMurray, Beth Inch and yours truly.
I can't believe that we're already into August and hosting this our fourth summer exhibition opening night with artists Maggie O'Brien and Amanda Hoskins. We had a great turnout with visitors and locals joining us for a drink and having the opportunity to chat to the artists about the paintings and how they were created. Although Maggie and Amanda are both Cornish artists they hadn't actually met before, so for them it was a great chance to talk shop at the end of the evening comparing notes and discussing their favourite places of inspiration on the island. The support team was back to our regular combination and I must give a special mention to Beth who stole the show in these awesome leggings!

My ensemble is a skirt and top combo which is having its first outing and the delightful little shoes were a recent find on the vintage section of eBay. When I tried them all on together I felt the look was a bit of old Hollywood glamour which is no bad thing for an opening night.

Top: Coast (charity shop). Skirt: vintage (charity shop). Shoes: eBay. Necklace: Debenhams. Handbag: TK Maxx. Rose gold bangle: Kate Spade New York. Beaded bracelet: old. Rings: gifts.

    1. Thanks for the feedback. Now that I've worn this skirt once I can see I'll have to wear it again. And yes, this is my favourite necklace - it seems to light up my face, if that's possible. Great to hear from you again.
