Meh! I’m out…

Well, I was expecting this; None of my paintings have been chosen for the Warrington Open Exhibition 2024!

Yikes!

Obviously, the members of the judging panel aren’t cat lovers; George will not adorn the walls of the Warrington Museum and Art Gallery from 17th July to 29th September.

This is the first time I’ve entered an exhibition since I tried to get into The Royal Academy Summer Show 2023. I didn’t enter this year because I couldn’t afford the entry fee of £40 per piece.

The last time I exhibited anything was back in 2011. I’ve only ever had paintings accepted in to exhibitions before, because I was friends with the organisers; That was my usual ‘shoo-in’.

Jackson Bollocks - Acrylic on Canvas 100 cms x 100 cms - 2006

Damien’s floor 2023

Fun Fact:- I’ve only ever sold one painting and that was to my old mate Neil, back in 2006. Apparently, he still has it. It was called ‘Jackson Bollocks’ and it was bollocks, but I still like it. It looks like the Lino off Damien Hirst’s floor and he sells that for millions.
