RSW at RSA

Well, lets be honest... It is a real phillip to get a picture accepted for a big open show and particulary splendid for it to be hanging in one of the rooms of the Royal Scottish Academy. I dropped the pictures off in Edinburgh on Wednesday 13th Febuary having driven through some pretty grim snowy conditions - so it would have been doubly galling to not get one through the selection. A self imposed anxiety, to shake myself out of the Studio confort and see how the work fares in the outside world. I have a stack of totally reasonable reasons why any work does not get hung, but the bottom line is... it is good if it does.
