I was asked by the Community and Learning Ranger at the National Trust South Downs East Office at Birling Gap to exhibit some of my paintings. There were restrictions though. There was only room for eight paintings and they had to be on the subject of the area local to Birling Gap and Seven Sisters. So, eight paintings it was plus a poster and some postcards for sale as an added bonus! All the paintings were for sale. If someone bought a painting and wanted to take it away there and then I had painted a couple of back-up paintings too as replacements!
