It was a pleasure to work with my fellow selectors in the judging of the Discerning Eye. My list of invited guests should be balanced with the support of the artists who sent their work in.

I have no need to justify myself in the choice of works. I felt strongly in the importance of an exciting presentation of colour, style, subjects and abstract sensitivity.

My choice is an iceberg of my tastes - only the tip shows. I only wish I could have more - alas space.
