The oil painting I wrote about in this previous post:

New Oils Henley Regatta and Legs Series

will not be displayed at the Henley Royal Regatta Art Gallery this coming season (2011).

Regatta Girls - Red Shoes

I am pleased with the painting, which shows eight girls on the tow path at Henley watching four young men rowing.
The subject of course, is quite imaginary, it is not a depiction of real life, but a wimsical look at the pleasant display of attractive young people that you can see at many sporting and social occasions in the England, if the sun shines in the summer!

 The girls in the painting are wearing very short skirts!  As you probably know, those short skirts are not countenanced in the Stewards Enclosure.  Ladies must wear skirts  below the knee.  In real life, these young ladies would not be allowed into the Stewards Enclosure, they can of course walk around in the town, or along the tow path but not, as I said, in the Enclosure.
