My feet, clad in Falke tights and shoes from Ras Al-Khaimah
(UAE), had spent the afternoon pounding the gangways of the Affordable Art Show
in Hampstead. No gawping hoi polloi here. The place was flooded with
sophisticated connoisseurs who came to admire and buy all manner of art:
driftwood sculptures, pencil work, traditional portraiture, potent photographs,
oil and acrylic paintings, figurative illustrations, digital, plaster
installations, porcelain, mixed media, etchings….. we were spoilt for choice.

I liked Claire Partington`s ceramic works, which are
inspired by traditional children`s rhymes, legends and folk tales. Lucie
Bennett`s perfectly-shaped `Delfine` from her `Naked Burgundy Series` dazzled
the viewer with her elusiveness, and Lance Hewison`s portraits were very
expressive, due to his technique of shaping the body or face in a way that
gives the impression of the complete picture.
