Putney Artists' Open House 2015

OtherExhibitions
Written By Nick Dale

I had 44 visitors over the past couple of weekends and sold one of my favourite prints.

I just wanted to thank everyone who came to my Open House exhibition over the last two weekends. It was nice to be able to show off my work and tell a few stories about taking the pictures, and I hope you enjoyed the exhibition.

I sold one print of a zebra (see image above) two postcards and nine greetings cards. The next trip I plan to take will be to the Brazilian Pantanal to see the jaguar, so every little helps!

If you're interested in coming along to any of my future exhibitions, I have a couple of events coming up:

  • The Glaziers' Art Fair on 27-28 October at Glaziers Hall, 9 Montague Close, London SE1 9DD. The opening hours are 1000-1630 on Tuesday and 1000-1700 on Wednesday (see http://glaziersartfair.com).

  • Putney Lawn Tennis Club Christmas Craft Fair on Balmuir Gardens, London SW15 6NG. The opening hours are 1900-2200 on Friday 27 November (see www.pltc.co.uk).

Nick Dale
I read English at Oxford before beginning a career as a strategy consultant in London. After a spell as Project Manager, I left to set up various businesses, including raising $5m in funding as Development Director for www.military.com in San Francisco, building a £1m property portfolio in Notting Hill and the Alps and financing the first two albums by Eden James, an Australian singer-songwriter who has now won record deals with Sony and EMI and reached number one in Greece with his first single Cherub Feathers. In 1998, I had lunch with a friend of mine who had an apartment in the Alps and ended up renting the place for the whole season. That was probably the only real decision I’ve ever made in my life! After ‘retiring’ at the age of 29, I spent seven years skiing and playing golf in France, Belgium, America and Australia before returning to London to settle down and start a family. That hasn’t happened yet, but I’ve now decided to focus on ‘quality of life’. That means trying to maximise my enjoyment rather than my salary. As I love teaching, I spend a few hours a week as a private tutor in south-west London and on assignment in places as far afield as Hong Kong and Bodrum. In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis, writing, acting, photography, dancing, skiing and coaching golf. I still have all the same problems as everyone else, but at least I never get up in the morning wishing I didn’t have to go to work!
