WORKS ON BROWN PAPER
Piers Feetham Gallery
475 Fulham Road London SW6 1HL
Tel: +44 (0) 20 7381 3031

Monday, October 16th 6.30 - 9pm

Well –– we’re off back to England for the next great event. Very excited to see all my (nicely priced) little pictures framed and up on the wall. Before which there will be some hitting of thumbs with hammers to get them there.

(Well –– the rhythmic ‘er’ of the casually written world –– whether of treacle or a trinity they are there, at least in the mind –– I quote, of course, tangentially)

Well, off we go to grace Mr. Feetham’s gallery walls. Come and see if for nothing else to find out if grace is the right word and worthy to be believed. I think so.

Safely I can say that those who like brown paper to excess should be warned off. Though not all of it shows, being covered in gold, silver, ink and very cheerful Indian colours, the addicted might not at first notice the influence before it is too late and they have regressed.

OPENING ON MONDAY 16th OCTOBER at about 6.30ish

Come along, for a bit more than Emma Blomefield’s goodies, which are extremely good. Reading the menu alone can increase the girth. But don't forget that you're really there for the smashing little paintings, still get Emma’s card and ask her how she does it. Also there's the wine brought lovingly from France by my indefatigable brother (along with Fizzy water, a blend of Normandy Air and the denizens of many a secret spring, the best, French, need one say more? Has one not already said too much?)

Come along and look at the walls which will be covered with beautiful, affordable paintings, alive long after that first glance –– take some with you.

For those who prefer music:

SUSAN ALEXANDER-MAX will play the CLAVICHORD
on TUESDAY 17th OCTOBER assembling at 6.00

sit on the non-squeaking chairs (a necessity for the gentle sounding clavichord) and listen to Susan who is a clavichord whizzo.

And all followed by more of Ms. Emma’s comestibles, not to be missed (but if you are that unfortunate her site is emmablomefield.com)

And then, then please more first and second glances at the pictures all begging like puppies to be taken home (but thereafter they will feed you).

If you’re in England do come along, if not at the opening on any of the days of that week right up to Saturday. If you’re not in England
Well
just eat out your heart and other viscera

To show I'm not really upset here’s the start of my latest short story:



The Pointing Man

This, then, is as true as I’m Irish, which I am. And as it’s Irish there’s blood, tragedy and burning in it. Judge the truth for yourself......

(It goes on quite a bit more. You need to read it in your best brogue. A couple of pints of Guinness are recommended)
