thewhitegallery has been humming, with hundreds of people dodging the rain to come and see jack's exhibition and the secret sculpture garden. it's been a pleasure sharing the space with visitors and receiving such positive feedback. children especially, have enjoyed the animals in the garden and the summerhouse studio has been a big hit, with several pictures sold and lots of praise for local artist, emily mugridge.
gavin darby's recycled metal horse, hercules, has caused quite a stir, with lots of people wondering how on earth we got him up to the top of the garden. the answer is in two pieces.
david broadhurst's little clay men on the top of the summerhouse have also delivered smiles, looking as they do like inmates on the top of a prison roof, trying to escape.
people have also been busy photographing the garden. jo belfield took pictures as her little boy alex wandered amongst the dingle dangles, made by becky waite out of recycled plastic bottles. when the sun shone, flakes of light bounced off the mirrors and danced around the garden.
thanks to everyone for their kind words and for recommending us to friends and family. due to the success of the garden, we now plan to host a sculpture garden & special summerhouse exhibition every year.
'nosey cow' by emily mugridge (mixed media on board) available to buy at thewhitegallery. please ring for details.

It is a wonderful exhibition Fiona. I am so glad you have plans to host more edhibitions in your garden in the future.
I love that Emily Mugridge painting too - it really makes me smile!
I saw this lonely cow pic at Macc College, propped up on the sink. I thought I recognised the subtle bovine undertones.
