The South West Academy of Fine and Applied Arts is a society promoting fine art across the south west of England. (The clue is in the name.) They have an annual open exhibition at Kennaway House in Sidmouth, Devon, a really lovely seaside town. This is the second year I’ve taken part. It’s always an interesting and varied exhibition and the town itself is gorgeous, especially on an autumn evening.

I entered “All the Things You Are”.

I enjoyed seeing some fellow SGFA artists there.


Sue Side and I always seem to be picture neighbours, which is no bad thing.

The exhibition is over now unfortunately but there’s an online catalogue that’s still available.
