EAG 101st Exhibition and Flaming Cow

Art and Artists at Ealing Town Hall

Nice to be able to take advantage of our invitation to EAG's 101st exhibition at The Town Hall yesterday - concur with the sentiments in the opening announcement on how the year has disappeared so quickly.

Odd to think so much has happened in that year, politically London has a new Mayor and we're on our out of the EU (more on that shortly) . On a bigger scale the planet continues to heat .



Some nice work from John Kaye, upcoming exhibition collaborator Helen Trevisiol Duff and Eileen Reding (as well as lots of people I know less well) - if you're in the area over the next 3 days go and take a look (Ealing Town Hall) admission is free.

Flaming Cow

A place for a dirty burger

After we'd had a good look around we decided to go and have what might be described I suppose as one of those 'Dirty Burgers' - new-ish place called Flaming Cow (one of two branches so far).

Very nice burger - reasonable prices interesting selection of drinks and  good friendly service probably won't be too long before we're back.
[I'd like to see this and other restaurants giving complimentary 'digestifs' or at very least mints - small cost but helps to make an impression.]

"Come on in" - From empty shop to full shop and Red 92

It's odd the way things progress - I had thought about showing some photographs in Ealing (where I live), I asked around and got an offer from BID/MakeitEaling  (get in touch if you need help in Ealing Business)  to use their shop in Bond Street for 2 weeks.

They've helped me

So on Saturday afternoon I took over the Pop Up shop in Ealing's Bond Street from Park and Bridge.

Having had support and advice from others I was keen to make sure this wasn't just a solo effort so I've got on board Eileen Reding  (watercolours), Gordon Cookson (wood-turner), John Kaye with his 3D works and Chris Gharibi a talented artist of many materials but also  showing here his work in wood.

It's can be a challenge to co-ordinate people but thankfully there were no tantrums and  great co-operation on show.

An empty shell 

Bill and Eileen make a start 

Chris undaunted by a blank wall

Some new ones and old favourites (of mine)

Thankfully he'd make a great sign writer too

Our senior figure John Kaye does some fine tuning

I hope you can drop in for a chat at least!

Red 92

Some would say I was showing some Ealing Shop front

A bit of advertising for them
