An impressive exhibition of New Forest paintings, portraits, cartoons and caricatures by Ringwood-based artist
For the first time, Daniel Byrne, a local artist, former cartoonist for the Daily Echo, and political cartoonist for the Mirror group, will be showing an array of fabulous landscapes, rarely seen portraits, caricatures, original cartoons, limited edition prints, and illustrations from his best-selling range of books.
His exhibition will take place at Brockenhurst Village Hall, and is also being exhibited at Beaulieu Fine Arts, Manor House, Beaulieu, and at the Lyndhurst Museum.
Daniel’s inspiration springs from the surrounding areas of Ringwood where he lives and works. He paints mainly in oils, aiming to capture the essence of the lush woodland and vegetation found deep in the heart of the New Forest.
His work has been displayed in numerous prestigious art societies, including The Royal Academy London, Royal Academy West of England, Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Royal Portrait Society, the society of Equestrian Artists and several more. Locally, he has won best picture award and people’s choice in The Lymington Annual Open Art Competition.
Daniel also recently helped judge the MAGS4DORSET School’s art competition, which took place last month.
His exhibition is open from 10am to 5pm on 20, 21, 27, 28 August, and Bank Holiday Monday on the 29 August. For more details, visit www.danielpaintings.co.uk
