Wildlife artist Richard Whittlestone
opens his winter exhibition
on Saturday 18th November
at his gallery on the Chatsworth estate.
On show will be many stunning new original paintings and limited edition
prints, plus a number of beautiful pen and ink studies which proved such a
hit last year. Richard, who sold his first paintings at the age of just thirteen,
hides a tiny fly in every picture he produces. “It started as an aid to give a
point of interest in a painting”, Richard explains, “but pretty soon clients
were looking for a fly in every painting - even though it wasn’t necessary. “All
pictures since 1990 have one - but I’m regularly asked to put a fly into flyless
paintings from the 1980’s!”
AA sign posted, Richard’s gallery is open every day running up to Christmas,
10am - 5pm and with ample free parking, in a wonderful setting, it is well
worth a visit.
