Hi folks. I am finally doing my debut solo art exhibiton in a new gallery in Finnieston called Veneer. It previews this friday (26th) and runs for 4 weeks. Hope some of you can make it down I have been working hard in preperation for this.  Please invite anyone you know thats intersted in art.

I made a little post about what its about... well why its called 'roots', its not really about anything its just paintings I have done recently. There is not a particular theme... I have been doing a few blossom pictures recently and have been on a full moon theme too. Thats about all you get to know

But for the reasoning behind roots see http://www.gilliesar...-peter-gillies/

I also posted this in the calander section.

Cheers hope to see YOU !!
