Painter-Stainers

In 2005 the Lynn Foundation and the Worshipful Company of Painter-Stainers teamed up to create the Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize to promote draftsmanship and representational painting, with prize money of £25,000. Helen Simmonds' exquisite still life December Shadow (detail) is a fine example of the aims of this award. The Lynn Painter-Stainers exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London runs from 18 February to 2 March, admission free (CLICK). A series of free events, demonstrations and workshops will also take place during the show. For details telephone Parker Harris on 01372 462190 or email lps@parkerharris.co.uk.
