This year I'm exhibiting in two houses and today I set up in one - 56 Tivoli Crescent. This house must surely have the best view of all the Open Houses - down the hill, over the train tracks and across to Preston Park and Preston Manor.
The house is owned by my lovely friend Moira Wills, whom I met through being an illustrator and teaching art at the old Eastbourne College Of Arts And Technology. Moira produces vibrant and cheeky screenprints. I have two, but would love to own more if I had the wall space!
An unexpected bonus was Moira's gorgeous home-made soups for lunch (the leek & potato was my favourite) and she'd even baked her own bread to go with it!
Afterwards, as it was such a sunny day, Paul dragged me away from my many self-imposed work schedules and we caught the 77 bus to Devils Dyke. It's amazing how one minute you can be in Brighton, with all its houses and traffic, and then suddenly be in the most gorgeous rolling hills with sheep, skylarks and steep woodland paths.
