It was a pleasance to walk into
the 298th Exhibition of the
Royal Society of British Artists yesterday - peculiarly afterwards
my real disappointing see to the RWS Contemporary Painting Exhibition on Tuesday.
I write real few negative posts nearly exhibitions - 1 was this calendar week (see above) together with some other was 3 years agone - see
RBA 2012: An exhibition of Middle England? Since that shipping service both the RBA together with the exhibition seems to convey come upward on inwards positive leaps together with bounds. It's expert to encounter that the problems I alluded to inwards my 2012 shipping service are much less evident and/or convey disappeared. In especial the issues inwards relation to the calibre of artwork seem to convey disappeared.
In addition, I practise retrieve it thinking it was somewhat ironic that I was seeing amend watercolours from artists selected from the opened upward entry than I did from artists selected for the RWS competition's exhibition.
This is an exhibition worth entering if you lot desire your artwork to endure seen inwards London and/or desire to larn a fellow member of a national fine art society.
