I initially had closed to difficulties amongst my video of the Florum exhibition - therefore why it wasn't posted before this week. However they look to create got resolved. Maybe I simply didn't quite empathize how long it took for the video to instruct off imovie together with into my folders?

Anyway - here's the video - together with you lot tin hit the sack encounter the exhibition yourself until 5pm on Sat 13th September.



It was entirely when I watched it all the agency through that I realised I had inadvertently omitted i real proficient wall my mistake!  The fact that it included 2 of my drawings which I actually liked was also pretty galling! However you lot tin hit the sack encounter the wall at the bottom front end of my photograph (above) together with these are my drawings below.

The exhibition is inwards a fairly small-scale infinite but the ladies who create the hanging create a dandy project of getting all the artwork hung inwards a real brusk infinite of fourth dimension prior to the Private View!

My entirely comment this twelvemonth is I mean value the far wall when you lot walk inwards could create got done amongst a stronger motif to attract the oculus - together with I couldn't empathize why 2 actually first-class together with colourful plant yesteryear Susan Christopher Coulson and Billy Showell were located at the bottom of the stairs. These are both artists who are real pop together with create got a rigid next - together with their artwork needs to last slow to see!

IMO, this are the gear upwards of half dozen paintings nosotros should create got seen on the far wall equally nosotros entered the exhibition. 

The artists who stood out for me this twelvemonth were equally follows.

I loved Rachel Munn's real small-scale drawing of a Shoo Fly Plant - which I've non got a proper photograph of - but it showed me what tin hit the sack last done when using pen together with ink together with coloured pencil together with crystallised for me what I've had inwards my caput for a long fourth dimension amongst honour to where I should create got my pen together with ink together with coloured pencil sketches inwards damage of fine fine art drawings. Thanks to Rachel for providing the insight equally to what is possible.

The demonstrate includes artwork which was awarded a Gold Medal yesteryear the Royal Horticultural Society at the RHS Show inwards Malvern before this year. These are:

• the wonderful watercolour paintings of hydrangeas of Gael Sellwood whose woman nurture Christine Flintham provided the paradigm for the exhibition website page.
• some fascinating pencil together with coloured pencil drawings of dissimilar varieties of apples - yesteryear Julia Craig-McFeely. Julia is the immature lady of closed to other botanical creative soul Joanna Craig-McFeely

I loved both both sets which scream 'quality' at you lot equally you lot thought them.

Plus 2 to a greater extent than of Julia's apples.

One of the aspects of the demonstrate is embraces all forms of artmaking related to constitute life - the jewellery for event is real pop amongst purchasers. H5N1 instant room includes all the 'not botanical' artwork of flowers together with constitute life. This twelvemonth Barbara Valentine's stone oil paintings on panels were peculiarly 'standout' - together with were joined yesteryear a dandy stone oil paradigm of Autumn Bounty yesteryear Linda Wallis

Finally it was deplorable to encounter the late Wendy Cranston's small-scale foursquare paintings inwards gouache for i concluding time. Wendy sadly died inwards July.
