Pastel Society Show

The annual exhibition of the Pastel Society opened at the Mall Galleries in London on Tuesday and runs until 22 June (CLICK). It promises "an eclectic mix of both figurative and abstract work in pastels and other dry media". Admission costs £3 for adults, £2.50 for silver surfers. Shown is a detail from John Tookey's Eggleston, Teesdale. I assume this is the same John Tookey who sold watercolours and pen and wash drawings at art shows in Ilford. I've always liked his work. I hold a copy of his East Anglia, text by Paul Jennings, published by Gordon Fraser Gallery Ltd in 1986.
