THE QUIET MAN ART EXHIBITION

Yes, okay, okay. I know. I've been neglecting my blog again.....sorry.

In my defence, however, I have been working on a major project this last few months. Namely an exhibition based on my favourite movie of all time - The Quiet Man - which starred John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara.

I have managed to organise a one-man exhibition of my latest paintings and print ranges in none other than the pub made famous in the movie - PAT COHAN'S BAR.

The exhibition will take place over the weekend of Friday, Saturday, Sunday the 26th, 27th and 28th of August 2011 in the village of Cong (Innisfree in the movie), County Mayo, Ireland. This will coincide with a festival celebrating the 60th anniversary of the making of the movie in the village.

A special year indeed to visit and be part of the festivities. It would be wonderful if any of you could make it, but be sure to book your accommodation early as the village Hotels, B&B's and campsites will fill up fast.

Have a look at my new dedicated website for this project www.the-quiet-man.net

Let me know if you are planning to attend or wish to buy a painting or print as a memento of this special year. Contact me through the contact page on the website above or my personal website www.tjmiles.com

'take 5' International Art Exposicion

Just back from Ireland doing yet another delivery trip for my galleries. A hectic time as always, more so because of the Christmas rush. Then all this week I've been very busy getting organised for my next exhibition here in Spain. It's a joint exhibition of five artists, all of different nationalities, and is to be held here in Torrevieja, on the Costa Blanca in February.

We have called it 'take 5' and I have set up a separate webpage to use as a link to each artist, namely:

Ricardo Hanna (Spain)
Maurice Murrel Thacker (England)
Rita J Hee (Denmark)
Gabriela Navarré (Argentina)
and not forgetting myself as the Irish contingent.

An exact date for the launch is still to be confirmed. I will keep you all posted.

The Rain In Spain......

Well now....
I have no idea where I intend to go with this blogging thing, so bear with me.

I had hoped to talk (or write) about art and how I am involved with it, but I feel this may wander a bit - rather like my mind - as I tend to have about twenty things going on at once!

Until I have something of note to say, please simply check out my website and, hopefully, my art will do some speaking for me. www.tjmiles.com email:art@tjmiles.com

Let me know what you think, and it will encourage me to write other thoughts down. In the meantime I will try to set aside time from my busy schedule to update this at least once a week (or more often if anyone is interested).

Best wishes
