I was clearing the attic over christmas and unearthed this poster - featuring a painting of mine from the 2004 Hunting art prizes. I remember doing this painting of houses at Perranuthnoe for a solo show at the Brian Sinfield gallery in the Cotswolds - but at the last minute I pulled it out and put it in the competition in a 'nothing ventured nothing gained' frame of mind. Anyway to my amazement and delight it won 2nd prize. This was from a field of 1,800 paintings, and amazingly enough the winner of the young artist award lived on the same street as me in Falmouth !I remember Ken Howard was on the judging panel - so thanks Ken ! Never did get to meet him..
The painting was sold at the show to an American friend of the Hunting family, and as far as I know is now in the US.
This was a later nocturnal version of the painting, now in a private collection in Falmouth.
