Strictly speaking you're not allowed to take photos so I couldn't take as many as I would have liked. Sorry. But many congratulations on being selected. As you know the exhibition runs until 22 August - is there no-one you know who can pop in and take some sneaky shots? I've just looked at your Facebook page and I'm sad now that I didn't spot your pictures as they're fab! Maybe you could ask one of your Facebook friends?

I find it's v difficult to talk about an art exhibition without being able to show pictures of what I'm talking about so I thought it was worth the risk of taking some to add to the post. If you've never been to the Summer Exhibition, I would recommend it. Pay no attention to Brian Sewell - make up your own opinion about the things on show.Mrs Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289121990808465890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528663482752743529.post-25895780552433451892010-06-27T08:31:41.871+01:002010-06-27T08:31:41.871+01:00Martin - ooh, spooky!

I spotted the Jeremy Blighton because I bought one of his from the exhibition a couple of years ago - it was of White Horse Hill (http://www.educatedart.com/item--White-Horse-Hill--w.horse.html) and is, in fact, very similar to the one in this year's show. Regarding price (and I perhaps should have mentioned this in the post itself), if you contact the artist of a particular piece directly and ask to buy it, the price will be less as the RA slaps on quite a large mark-up (I forget exactly how much). An etching I fancied a few years ago ('Little Pig' by Christopher Brown - http://www.englisheccentrics.com/christopher-brown-13/little-pig-765/product.html) at the exhibition was priced, I think, at £60 but had sold out by the time we got there. I contacted Christopher directly, saying that I loved it and was there any possibility he had any more of them, which he did and for £45!
