The nice people I work for at YOU magazine commissioned me to write a piece on getting a picture into last year’s Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy.  It involved being photographed in the galleries wearing ‘bright summery clothes’ (not my usual style) and standing rather gormlessly in front of my painting while that morning’s visitors to the exhibition tried not to look too curious.   When the photographer had finished, one of them approached me and said, ‘Could I ask – are we meant to know who you are?’  Sadly, no.    (You can find the story using the link below.)
