'Key to the West', watercolour on paperI have been a member of the International Guild of Realism for a couple of years now, but due to other commitments haven't had the opportunity to exhibit with them. That is until now, I recently had a piece accepted for the "Leading Masters in Contemporary Realism" show, which will be held in the Winstanely-Roark Fine Arts Gallery, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA.
DetailThe Painting "Key to the West" is a watercolour and depicts the side of a rail carriage including metal sign and a key which I picked up in California on my last visit to the States. The subject matter is pretty simple as is the image, but I find when working on a small scale simple is best.

The show opens on 24th July through to August 5th 2007.
My next problem appears to be getting the painting there in one piece and within the realms of a realistic price. So far the most outrageous price is £380 for a pretty small painting and that doesn't include dealing with customs or tax, and they are using FedEx. Seems the only thing they will do is make the small crate, mmmmmm!
I have other options to explore. Now if anyone has had experience in doing this, please let me know.
