Bob Ebdon - Coloured Pencil Artist

This is the page on which I will put all of my new pictures as I do them. As I have been "proper poorly" for a while now, there is just one picture to show you here - hope you like it! I am very pleased that I have had several repeat commissions this year, from people for whom I have done work before. Good to know they were happy to come back to me.

Large Prints: Thanks to my purchase of an A3+ Epson printer with archival inks, I am now able to offer large prints of several of my pieces. Have a look at my Prints page for prices and examples.

Exhibition success: I am also delighted to report that another of my paintings has done extremely well in a National Competition. Each year, the "Artists" magazine and "Leisure Painter" magazine get together to sponsor a competition, for which they receive hundreds of entries, in two categories for amateurs and professionals. Just 70 pictures in each category get selected to be hung in an exhibition at Patchings Farm Art Centre which took place from June 7th to July 15th 2007. "Red Onions"was accepted into the main exhibition this year, and was awarded the Derwent Award of £250 worth of art supplies. I am delighted to have been so successful in coloured pencil against professional artists using all media. "Red Onions" also won the Honorary President's award at the 2007 UKCPS Exhibition! I am amazed and delighted to receive an Award from Ann James Massey, that means so much to me.

Articles: Watch out for four articles by me in Leisure Painter magazine, starting in Feb 2008.

New Gallery: Some of my work can now be seen in "The First Floor Gallery", 1 Lower Downs Slade, Haverhill, Suffolk CB9 9ED, Tel 01440 762444
