Bromley Art Society Bringing Artists Together since 1947

What moves an artist? (or what makes an artist move?!)

Being London born and bred, with short sojurns in Tunbridge Wells and Birmingham as a boy, my education was in London and each time I changed course in my career it was in London, the centre of the world!

As time passes the ties to London start to drop away and travelling around Britain and abroad makes one realise that in another place will be a more stimulating and enjoyable home.

As the pressures of earning a living become reduced, commercial commitments diminish and family ties dwindle, Cath - (my wife) - and I are searching for that place.

With what I hope will be my last ‘career move’ the place will hopefully have some studio facility and be somewhere with potential for artistic inspiration and development which I would be happy to share (not all at once please!)

I am happy that Allan Davies has agreed to take over the editorship of the EASEL, and I am sure he will inject his own personality into its pages.

This time I have not quite been able to include all the letters and articles you have sent. I hope Allan will be able to consider them in the next issue. Please support him as well as, or even better than you have supported me.

Perhaps BAS can have ‘country members’? At reduced rate of course!
