Sponsors luncheon

Over the years of painting I have operated a small sponsorship scheme, largely of friends and relations, but also of old colleges. They have given their generous support, either in cash or in unfailing support in kind. From photography of originals to unflinching criticism. This weekend I gave a small luncheon party to say thank you and show what there support has enabled me to produce.
Such support provides for paints and travel expenses to such places as France where I undertook a residency in 2008.
The sun shone and the quests arrived, some traveling half the length of England, and a very nice time was had by all.
Thank your continued support.
Eric, the book was shown and handed around causing a lot of discussion as to the nature of such publications. I probably did more good for Blur publishing system that I did for Eric.
Friends from my days in advertising were very enthusiastic of the photography I had been taking over the past few years, most of which they were unaware I indulged in.
