Merry Menagerie was a really sucessfull exhibition, and our card range has prooven to be a hit too, so we are pleased as punch! Unfortunately we only have some snaps of this exhibition as the works just started vanishing off the walls from the beginning of the exhibition run as people clamoured to grab their perfect Christmas gift. Over the coming weeks I intend to source further images so this blog can remain as a document of the exhibition's sucess.

Cushions by William Watson West

#4 merry menagerie

Our christmas exhibition of animal based works is a riot through the animal kingdom as see through the eyes of artists and designers at varying stages of their career from the established and successful painter's hand of Ruth Addinall to the future bright lights of Edinburgh College of art, student textile designer William Watson-West.

Exhibiting with us for the first time is recent graduate Lindsay Brown whose distinctive endangered animal repeat pattern is the flier image of Merry Menagerie. Along with the established talents of Eleni Kalorkoti, Libby Walker, Nekocherry and Kevin Sim.

Returning to Broughton Deli Art, are some of our favourite creative kids on the block - Susiemaroon, The Lindstrom Effect, Ticky and Ciara Mc Dermott. The exhibition runs from November 14 to January 14, and we are having an arty christmas party on Sunday December 12, from 6-8 pm... the more of you that make it along to try some delicious deli snacks and sip some Villeneuve wine, the merrier this menagerie will be.

We are proud to announce the launch our first, exclusive set of greetings cards which depict a menagerie of animals by exhibiting artists - some christmassy, some... less so! They are a bargain at £2.50 a card or 5 for £10 and they are printed on FSC approved paper to keep your conscience happy.

# 2 captain redwood's exploits are turning heads!

We were pleased as punch to hear that Captain Redwood has caught the informed eye of Patrick Burgoyne and The Creative Review team, with the above post on their blog. The Captain started his exploration of the art world right here in Broughton Deli Art as part of the much-loved exhibition Silver Halide, by Ian Bruce and Vala Jonsdotter of The Lindstrom Effect. Along side a variety of their works, the Voodoo Owls were also mentioned, which have flown our nest to take up a perch at Edinburgh's favourite book shop - Analogue. Have a peep and feel the joy!

# 3 karen nelson

Exhibition #3 was chosen by the owners of The Broughton Deli, Ailith Anderson and Euan Fryer. Karen Nelson is a passionate painter based in the Scottish Boarders who takes influence from her surrounding landscapes.

Karen is a family oriented painter who collects photographs on long walks with her family and pet dogs. These photographs and fond memories form the foundation of the exhibited body of works. From her vibrant oil paintings to her autumnal pastel drawings, Karen's interest in light and texture is explored in her works - as is her love of contemporary landscape painters such as David Hockney. This is Karen's first solo exhibition in Edinburgh and we hope you enjoy a wonder through the forests and contrasting colours of the seasons.
