Yesterday was the opening event in a festive Chester when Castle Galleries turned over to an invasion of Impossimals with a diverse collection of limited editions, oil sketches and originals adorning the wall. We arrived quite early so we could take in some of the splendour of this great city but as with all these things we were here not to sight see but to celebrate ten years of Impossimals with all the collectors that have supported us over the years.
The event was to be held inside this grand building, impressive from the outside as is most of the buildings in ancient Chester.
The gallery had made a magnificent Impossimal display that covered the entire top floor of the gallery and on cue at exactly 12'o'clock the appearance began...
It got very busy at times as collector after collector came through the door to celebrate. With plenty of Impossimals to view and drink on hand both myself and Jayne found ourselves pretty much tied up until the end of the event at 3'o'clock but it didn't stop there.
We managed to chat about a lot of things during the day including for the first time these unique oil sketches, these differ from the previous ones as they are sketches that break down the painting process to include all the codes and colours that goes into them. So for the very first time you can see exactly what colour I used first, how I mixed them and more importantly the first draft from imagination to canvas.
We met loads of people on the day and the event had to be extended a few more hours to cope with the demand and we finally left happy and exhausted just after 5pm.
All that remains is to say a big thank you to Castle Galleries, Chester and all the collectors who came along to Christmas With The Impossimals. One down, three to go.
The next free event is at Castle Galleries in Solihull on the 24th November between 1-4pm so come along and join us for what promises to be a spectacular Impossimal fuelled day in a great fun filled gallery.
See you there!
