Paul Raymond Gregory’s paintings from his Monumental Tolkien Series to be shown at:

The Truth About Faeries From A Midsummer Night's Dream to Lord of the Rings

From the Golden Age of illustration from the 1860s to 1920s up to the present day, this exhibition explores the prevailing interest amongst story tellers, artists, film makers and illustrators in the world of fairies. The Truth about Faeries introduces mischievous and bad fairies such as brownies, goblins and trolls; good and beautiful fairies with gossamer wings; even fake fairies. It features the Victorian and Edwardian book illustrations of Richard Doyle, Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac as well as by Pre-Raphaelite artists Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Edward Coley Burne-Jones. Fairies manifest themselves in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Tempest; in classic fairy tales Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty; in Cecily Mary Barker’s Flower Fairies; as well as on page and screen in The Lord of the Rings. They appear in print, paint... and even in the round.
 The story is brought up to date with works from contemporary artist  Paul Gregory’s Tolkien Monumental Series and works by  Brian and Wendy Froud, Alan Lee, Patrick Woodroffe, Sean Jefferson and Charles Summers.
 
The Truth About Faeries was originated by Anne Anderson at Southampton City Art Gallery and the tour is organised by  Expositionis. The exhibition and accompanying catalogue have been sponsored by FOSMAG, Peter Nahum @ the Leicester Galleries and Frederick Warne, publisher of the Flower Fairies™ books.

The original artwork for Saxon's Crusader album retuned to my studio for some work, the picture shows Paul Quinn with the beast guitar infront of the artwork.

Happy days

Crusader was not only the first album cover Paul Raymond Gregory painted for Saxon but his first for any band. 25 years later this historic cover is  released as a fine art limited edition print of 500 copies worldwide. Each print is signed and numbered by the artist and accompanied with a letter of authenticity.

Not only in celebration of 40 years of metal and ten years of Bloodstock but in recognition of Paul's relationship with the band that  Headlined the first Bloodstock and gave him eleven covers. Paul has reduced the price of the edition to just £50.00 to the run up to the festival.

Your chance to save over £150.00 and collect a piece of metal's history.

Happy Anniversary.

Paul

Good to see my future son in law Tim, once again picking up the gauntlet by flying the flag for Bloodstock in my wagon on his quest to let all and sundry know about the UK's best metal fest. BLOODSTOCK.

The storm returned with fresh fury, they heard eerie noises in the darkness  round them. It may have been only a trick of the wind in the cracks and the gullies of the rocky wall, but the sounds were those of shrill cries, and wild howls of laughter. Stones began to fall from the mountain-side, whistling over their heads, or crashing on the path beside them. Every now and again they heard a dull rumble as a great boulder rolled down from hidden heights above.

The latest painting to come from my studio is titled Urk-hai, size 120”x72” I don?t know how
many miles I walked to and from my easel but I'm sure it's a few. There will be a colour
image of the completed work but for now it?s just me and the canvas.

And yes you're never to old to rock.
