Exhibitions update

An exhibition of contemporary watercolour painting, featuring 90 works by 80 artists, is now on show at the Mall Galleries, London until Saturday 19 September.

Visiting information: 14 – 19 September 2015. Mall Galleries, The Mall, London SW1. Daily, 10am – 5pm. Admission free. www.mallgalleries.org.uk.

The London exhibition will be followed by The Smith & Williamson Tour to venues across the UK, including Castle Fine Art, Birmingham (10 – 18 October 2015) and Guildford House Gallery, Guildford (14 November 2015 – 2 January 2016).

I visited the exhibition yesterday with Zi Ling who has two works in the show. Zi creates portraits or explorations of relationships by working from photographs with which she feels an intuitive connection. The result, in the case of her portrait Jonathan, is a visceral, expressive image which is among the most affecting in the show.

Tomorrow I will be at The Lovely Gallery in Sydenham for the Private View of Exuberant Flourishing by Clive Sheldon.
