Picture Studio Artist Exhibits At The Hampshire Art Fair

The Hampshire Art Fair exhibiting at Stoke Charity, Winchester in November will host an exiting collection of contemporary work from an array of British and International artists. including artists such as Penelope Anstice, Louise Braithwaite,  David Atkins, Roy Conelly to name but a few.

'A Night at the Theatre' is very typical of Louise Braithwaites work with her quirky figures and unique style. Her work is always popular with new releases this year of Limited Edition prints entitled 'Quayside Capers' and 'Out to Play'.

'Beatrix Potter' still proves to be of great interest

With the launch of the film 'Miss Potter' in 2006, a report in the News & Star has reported a major boost in visitors, especially Japanese tourists who have been flocking into Cumbria this summer to visit 'The World of Beatrix Potter' , showing there is still a great love of her work and of her characters 'Peter Rabbit' , 'Miss Tiggy-winkle'  and 'Squirrel Nutkin' to name but a few.

In 2008 'The Tale of Jemima Puddle-duck' will reach its centenary, and with this they anticipate a further increase of 'Potter' fans to the area.  Her images and books have always been loved by children and adults, and it appears from the report in 'News & Star', it is set to continue for many more.
