Newsletter November 2009New ArtworkThe latest artwork ‘White Turf - Centenary Trotting’ is the second work in the ‘White Turf’ series. This is an unusually large drawing (18” x 38”) and pushed my skills levels to the limit. I wanted to capture the dynamic action of the trotting races held annually on St Moritz Lake in Switzerland.
The Drawing was sold before it was completed to a European collector for £4,250.00 Archival Quality Limited Edition Prints will be available within the next week, only 195 will be produced.

Community OutreachAbbey Walmsley Fine Art has a number of projects in the early planning stages. Room To ReadThe First is assisting a patron to raise funds for Room to Read (www.roomtoread.org ). Room to Read is a charity founded by John Wood, who quit his senior executive position at Microsoft to form a global team to work within the rural communities of Vietnam and Nepal. Their aim was to build sustainable solutions to children’s educational needs. The Charity has now grown, and provides Schools and Libraries within nine countries. So far it has built 765 schools, 7,168 Libraries and benefited 3.1 million children. To make Room to Read’s fundraising efforts as optimal as possible they have partnered with Quintessentially, the world’s largest private members club (www.Quintessentially.com ) and The Financial Times (www.ft.com) more information on The Financial Times Sesonal Appeal can be found here: http://www.ft.com/indepth/seasonal-appeal . A global auction is underway (21st - 30th November 2009) which will include 5 works previously commissioned by one of my a patrons and I also plan to donate commission that I hope will produce an artwork between the value of £10,000 - £20,000.00 please follow the links to the auction: http://www.quintessentially.com/auction/ The original paintings - 'Fierce Pursuit' and 'Caught' were showcased on the auction launch evening at Quintessentially Soho, The House of St Barnabas to inspire those wishing to bid on the private commission. The Injured Jockey's FundTalks have recently begun with the Injured Jockeys Fund based in the UK to see if I can donate 4 equestrian and horseracing artworks to assist their projects. The Injured Jockeys Fund was established in 1964 to provide financial assistance to injured Jockey’s. The Fund provides immediate and effective help to all newly injured jockeys in whatever way is appropriate to ensure a reasonable quality of life for them and their families. We are currently seeking an appropriate event in which to find buyers for the artworks.
