“The king is dead…long live the king”
It’s a very hot Monday and time to write my very first ‘blog’ for The Real Wood site…quite exciting…ok, so…
James Wheeler private view party – Fri July 1st 6.30- 9.00pm
Exhibition runs to Thursday Aug 4th
I cannot believe where the time flies…another month has passed and it’s time to tell you about a new exhibition and another party!! of which, more in a bit…
This month, the stunning glass artworks of Jo Downs have been much admired and we have sold several pieces to our discerning customers!! We opened that exhibition to coincide with the arrival of Rodney Salter’s stunning abstract figures to The Sculpture Garden. His exhibition runs throughout July as well….
So what delight do we have for you this month? Not a well kept secret, but still exclusive…. eminently affordable, the result of the application of oils on to cork, with an eye for flow and texture… landscapes, carefully reproduced as limited edition prints by the artist himself and sympathetically framed by ourselves….
We welcome James Wheeler who studied originally at The Glasgow School of Art and takes his inspiration from his native Scotland, the Lake District and the wilds of Yorkshire as well as from visits to warmer Mediterranean climes.
Fri July 1st, 6.30-9.00pm is the private view party and you are warmly invited to join us for Pimms, wines, juices etc…. live music from the 40’s and 50’s by Katie Humble…and a chance to wander the showrooms and see what’s new.
We will be unveiling the largest single piece of intense burr oak we have ever come across …originally the top to a pedestal table dating to the late 18th century, by the time it found its way to us, it had lost its original base, so we have made a lovely ‘cricket table’ base for it. It’s a cracker!! First come….blah, blah…
Hope to see you there!
