Its a Boon for Mooch art

He mentioned it just in passing. A cursory comment that I didn't take to seriously. "Oh yeah, I'm doing a portrait for Clint Boon". I'd heard of Clint but wasn't sure anything was going to come of it. Adam Hayley says these things in his typically modest but excited way. He won the Mooch Artist of the year last year and already had a head start in promoting himself. He'd met with Clint a couple of times, taken some photos and worked out his angle on the portrait. The portraits bring out the character in the individual so Adam needs to understand that. He automatically injects this into the brush strokes on canvas and it is remarkable what he can do.
So the result is a night unveiling the said portrait at the gallery on Thursday the 25th. Clint has been fantastic and is a true man of the people. He is a champion of emerging talent so we are on the same wavelength.
He is bringing his vinyl along, and playing some tunes while his lovely wife serves her home made cakes and tea. I'd never heard of his wife's business before but she is putting on regular events at TV21 bar where she makes tea parties cool again with vintage crockery and great music.
Adam is entering the painting into the National portrait gallery awards in March so It could give him a £25k prize and a springboard to a great arty career. The event will hopefully raise his profile so that people know of this great talent.
Fingers crossed it will go well, Clint will be mentioning it on the radio so I hope we can deal with the numbers. Actually I hope people come, the worst fear of anyone organising an event it that people simply don't care.
