Art news: Scottish painter to exhibit in UK

A Scottish landscape painter will be exhibiting in Oxfordshire this October.

Jonathan Mitchell from Angus will be showing five oil paintings in the Scottish Show at Iona House Gallery in Woodstock from October 11. Earlier in the year he submitted six paintings to the United Society of Artists show in Cork Street, London after he was introduced to the opportunity by Creative Coverage. “Four of the six paintings I submitted were selected for the exhibition, which is great in itself. I struggled down on the train and the tube for the hand-in with the four paintings bundled up into a hefty package and was rewarded by being awarded the Michael Harding Prize for one of my pictures, ‘A Winter Landscape near Cortachy’. This painting was sold through the exhibition and is now in Toronto. I`m now a member of United Society of Artists and hope to show at their November exhibition at The Bankside Gallery, London.” Jonathan’s diary is rapidly filling up for 2015 with his work already featuring in the Creative Coverage Spring Show at Michelham Priory in Sussex in March 2015. www.jonathan-mitchell.co.uk
