I now have a Facebook page for the art stuff as well as this and Instagram, so getting all bases covered on the Social Media front! I've posted in various places this new version of Footsteps - 

So I have a second solo show at the New Kent Art Gallery in Broadstairs  next week, just a short one this time,  running form Tuesday to Sunday (13th-18th March). It'll be a mix of new stuff, old stuff, and a couple of experiments, like this blackbird.

Just home from Surrey Contemporary Art Fair, it went really well, we met lots of very nice people.
​
For anyone who might want to buy an original picture or print they saw at the show, or anyone who would like to commission a drawing, please email me at info@patrickwilkinsartuk.com and we'll sort out costs and other details. I'll attempt to set up a shop for selling prints etc. in the very near future so all this can be done easily. 

Thanks to everyone who came to the stand and everyone that bought things! 

So Im doing this at the weekend! If anyone wants to go drop me an email ( info@patrickwilkinsartuk.com ) as I have a bunch of free tickets.

So for the second year in a row I have made the shortlist for Artist And Illustrators Magazine Artist of the Year. There is a public vote here. My selected picture is 'Tim' which is not new but very happy for it to get picked as I'd previously entered it into the Royal Academy and it didn't make the cut! Here's a detail view from it. There's a Short List Exhibition at the Mall Gallery in London next February. (Details here)

So I had a picture in the Jon Bird Open at the Fishslab Gallery in Whitstable, it was the Indian restaurant picture 'My Little Problem', which is on the same street as the Fishslab! That was a very short show, already finished in fact. In the meantime I got a bit of press coverage in local magazine The Broadie, along with my good friends at the New Kent Gallery, page shown here.  

Post exhibition updates - new pictures added, 'Hide N Seekin', which is also the home page image and 'Good Day Version 4'. I've also added to the captions which pictures have been sold.  

So my first solo exhibition is going to be at the New Kent Art Gallery in Broadstairs from 28th August (Bank Holiday Monday), for 2 weeks (ish), finishing on September 10th. The title of the show is (unsurprisingly) 'Pleased to Meet Me' A lot of new drawings, a lot of local stuff and naturally a lot of lighthouses! Here's the two sides of the flyer, North Foreland lighthouse (again) -   

'Dance To The Fight', a drawing of a statue of Colonel Thomas Cass which is on Boston Common added to Pictures of America .

Added 'Nobody' in Pictures of England, a drawing of Westgate on Sea train station, and 'Favourite Thing' in Pictures of America, a drawing of Eastern Point lighthouse in Gloucester Massachusetts.
