The Beecroft Art Gallery is one of the most established Galleries in the local area and is situated overlooking the Thames Estuary in Southend-on-sea, the Open Exhibition collects and exhibits a diverse selection of work by artists from all around Essex. Over 650 works were submitted for consideration which was then whittled down to just 148 successful entries.
I was fortunate enough to have my work chosen for the exhibition, but on arrival at the Private View evening on Friday 8th July I was given a lovely surprise, as my work had been chosen as the winner of the Lynn Tait Gallery Award for Best work depicting a local landmark, one of only 8 awards given out on the evening and an award that is apparently the focus of much careful and considered deliberation by the exhibition selectors, an honor indeed.
