Jean Haines, Tom Jones And A Day At The Races

Jean Haines is involved in a wonderful art sale at the Mall Galleries next month as part of the Society of Women Artists exhibition. The sale is orgnaised by the Lady Taverners to raise money for children's charities.
Here's what Jean herself says about the event:

"On June 30th there is going to be a fantastic evening at the Mall Galleries  which will be held during the 150th Exhibition by the SWA. Surrounded by amazing art a unique auction will be taking place which involves original art generously donated by SWA members themed with prizes that are truly wonderful. For example my painting " Flying Colours" will be part of an auction lot which will include a fabulous day to remember at Newmarket Races followed by a concert with two tickets to see Tom Jones!

During the evening  there will be two  fabulous portraits taking place live. Celebrity Angela Rippon the new President of the Lady Taverners will be sitting for one painting whilst a sculpture of the sponsor of the event will also take place. Both of these by renowned artists.

There will be champagne and canapes throughout the event and tickets are surprisingly only £20 each.

All funds raised from this evening will be going towards the Lady Taverners which provides amazing support for some very special children."

So that sounds like a fabulous event. More details from the SWA web site
