I was pleased to have my painting ‘Denmark Street (Tin pan Alley) chosen for entry to The Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize 2019.
This annual exhibition is held at the Mall Galleries, The Mall, London SW1. Approximately 100 paintings were selected for exhibition. I was most pleased to be selected as the chance of being chosen is less that 5%.
Although I didn’t win a prize I has fortunate enough to have the added bonus of featuring on the exhibition poster.

Liam, I didn’t get to see the exhibition so I don’t know what your painting was up against, but yours was brilliant. To even get into the last hundred is a major feat and being chosen for the poster was indeed an honour. This itself will have shown your work to many who did not even go in the museum. Still watching and enthusing to people about your work.
Hi Eve,
Many thanks for the feedback.
yes it is always good to get into these exhibitions. i must apply for more.
Interestingly i have got into another at The mall Galleries in May. I shall put it into a newsletter.
Best wishes
Liam
