I wasn't asked.............No well yes, but no - there was apparently a call for entrants which I missed. It is a problem with all these reality use the public cheap telly programmes where the presenters have more in than the participants and Una???Why is she there. I found some of her artwork and it is very weak and wonder why it is in the RA too???.
Not sure I would have gone on if chosen, probably my ego would say do it and hang the embarrassment. Hopwfully it will improve as they lose artists, but then we fellow painters get more chance to see the actual work they are producing rather that other stuff, like a Constable lecture - I mean!!!!!!!!!!
We painters want to see the actual mark making, dwell on the actual painting and drawing and how they are working, but unlikely, for an hour.
