BP Portrait Award shortlisted finalists 2007

[Mary Jane Ansell]

Hi Maryam

I'm so pleased to see another of your lovely paintings in the BP - I remember very much enjoying pouring over your exquisite brushwork in the 2004 exhibition...

Incidentally just in case it's of interest to you (and of course any other of the UK members) there is a Private View this friday (6th july) from 7.30pm for the lovely and talented figurative painter Nigel Cox at the GX Gallery, Camberwell, London

I'm going along and it would be great to say hello to anyone else who makes it.

Best wishes

Hello Mary Jane,

Thanks so much for the lovely message...
I've admired your works for some time as well - a few of which I was fortunate to view in person (at the National Portrait Gallery of course, as well as the London Art Fair)! I particularly love the way you manage to capture a powerful yet intimate feel in your pieces.

As for Nigel's show, I am 80% sure I'll be able to attend and say hello. It would be lovely to meet you alas!

Stay well,
Maryam

Hi Maryam

Oh how lovely - thank you in return! (It's funny, it always surprises me slightly that people do actually see these paintings of ours "out there" :-) I really do hope you can make it, it would be such a pleasure to meet you.

Best wishes
Mary Jane
