Bath Prize 2010
When I heard about the “Bath Prize” 2010 competition, I thought that this would be a perfect opportunity for Alan Reed (my husband) to paint (plein air) on location which he loves doing.
He entered the competition which automatically gives the artist a place in the City of Bath of which to paint. He was allocated “Great Pulteney Street”.
I immediately organized a trip to Bath for the weekend for us both which we thoroughly enjoyed. Whilst I left Alan painting with his watercolours, paintbrush and sketchbook, I made my way around all the amazing and unusual little shops and market.
When I returned I was amazed, but not surprised to see the fantastic results of the outstanding watercolour of Great Pulteney Street which Alan painted in the rain whilst sitting on a bench under an umbrella.
On that same weekend Alan did some other paintings around Bath which are also stunning. You can see on his blog http://blog.alanreed.com definately worth a look!
The resulting highlight is that we have the news that he is now in the finals for the prize………………….watch this space.
