I am so glad he is better.

Charles’ PA.

Apologies for going quiet lately. Charles had been working in India for some time and my concerns when he dropped off the radar were not unfounded. He returned thin and exhausted but, ever the slave driver, I packed him off anyway on a gruelling schedule, including meetings at the Royal Academy, working on commissions and attending private views.
To his credit, Charles was the consumate professional and didn’t miss a single appointment…until he could stand no longer. Finally, it was revealed that Charles had been walking around with a severe form of malaria and a gastric parasite. The doctor deemed him too ill to go to the hospital for tropical diseases!
Happily, Charles is now on the road to recovery and I am getting over my guilt. More news on India, current exhibitions and projects to come soon from the pen of the man himself.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year one and all!   

Message from Charles…at last

The airways may have been quiet for a few weeks but things have been busy

I am not a religious man but I hate destruction. So this February I am making the journey to Vrindavan. India the birthplace of Krishna and the sacred forests. I will create a series of paintings there before it is too late. What is left now is under threat of demolition in the name of industrial and economic progress. This is the real story of Avatar, 

An exhibition and auction event of my work is planned for the coming spring/ early summer at the Frost and Reed Gallery, Duke Street, St James, London. It aims to highlight and publicise awareness of what actually is going on….and be the most beautiful paintings I have ever done!

To help finance the trip a special pre subscription offer to buy this giclee print (A3 size) which will be available on the 20^th of March 2011. please send £50 (plus 5p&p) to me.

The signed limited edition of 100 will also be available after the 20^th of March for £200

Your receipt for the pre-subscription offer will be numbered  to win the original painting or you choice from a selection of the new collection from the exhibition.

Phew! It’s been a busy few weeks.  The final part of Charles’ recent exhibition culminated at the Quarterhouse in Folkestone on Thursday the 11^th November.  As part of the main line up of the literary festival Charles and author Ranchor Prime left their audience spell bound as they unravelled the mysteries of the Bhagavad Gita.

Images from the Bhagavad Gita will soon be available to view on Charles’ Website on the Exhibition page.
