Last night was thje Preview Reception at Three Cups Gallery in Ely for the opening of 'The Landscape Metaphor' featuring art by Jeremy Mayes and Peter McCarthy and myself. The paintings all looked great together, Craig had done a great job. Peter McCarthy sold a painting very early on. It was great to meet the other artists and talk about art and have a drink.
