Thank you so much to everyone who went along to the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and saw my painting ‘Prams in Hallways’ hanging in room 2. I’m so grateful to Hughie O’Donoghue for selecting it, and to the collector who bought it before the exhibition even opened to the public. This is the second year I’ve been selected but the first time I could go to Varnishing Day. It’s such a special day where all the artists walk in procession down Picadilly to St James’ for the ‘blessing of the artists’ service before heading back to the gallery to admire each others’ work.
