TANIA BEAUMONT

For once there are events happening in Ramadan, even though half the population flees abroad. I have just returned from 2 weeks in London, which was rather good. Enjoyed the RA summer show,  usual mix of 30% great stuff and.... the rest...... one wonders why they bothered.

I have 6 pieces in the Ramadan Affordable Art fair, Ghaf Gallery 23rd Aug-7th Sept - all etchings.

1-5th September I have made the decision, perhaps foolishly, to do 5 nights at the Meridien Hotel Art and Craft Fair.They are holding the event in the empty Turkish Restaurant room, with its lovely painted vaulted ceiling. Must remember to take a book, incase it's quiet. People may end up just eating in the surrounding restaurants instead of buying our wares !
