Dear Friends of our Northampton Town & County Art Society.
I hope you are all well, and must be wondering why there have not been any notifications about our recent, very successful, Exhibition.
I apologise for not having been my usual active self, as I have been for the last 30 years. However … I promise to make amend.
30 paintings were sold during our last Exhibition, which finished last Sunday.
120 Works were exhibited.
I am sure that all the visitors, who paid a visit at this Exhibition held at the Northampton Museum & Art Gallery, agree with me that this was our most successful Exhibition yet.
With kind regards, love, and respect,
Hanneke Richards 🖊️ 🎨

This is the heart of a Blue whale. Weighing in excess of 1,300 lbs (±600 kg), it is the size of a small car. The gigantic heart beats 8-10 times per minute, and each heartbeat can be heard from over 2 miles (3.2 km) away.

This painting by the artist Adriaen Coorte, made in 1699, shows a simple bunch of dramatically lit asparagus, on a stone shelf. ⁠
⁠
Still life paintings of food, often called Vanitas, were a common theme in Dutch art in the 17th century and alluded to moral themes such as the brevity of life.⁠
⁠
Asparagus were a favourite of Coorte’s and appear in 12 known paintings. ⁠

See this painting on display in our Still-life Paintings gallery on the second floor.
