Welcome
January 2012
Update 25th Jan:
This is the last week for the January 'Best Offer' sale on the Original Watercolours that are left in Bondgate Gallery.
Eric is currently working towards his next Exhibition in Spennymoor's Town Hall Gallery in March. He is planning to draw some sketches of times remembered from his childhood and growing up in the 50's and 60's in and around Shildon. The four paintings he completed last year proved very popular and sold quickly (follow this link to view them on our website). Eric will be drawing out some of the sketches here at the shop in the upcoming Saturdays, so if you pop in and catch him in action, just ask him how he produces such nice work from such a messy paint pallet !!!!
We have a brand new original watercolour on display, titled 'The Swinging 60's' in Bishop Auckland. Its hanging in the Gallery window and attracting a lot of attention.
I'm off skiing in a couple of weeks, but the Gallery will be open normal hours as the non-hired help will be here (aka Mam n Dad...). When I say skiing though, I use the term very lightly, in that, I can get down the mountains (slight hills) but not with any great style or finess.
If you wish to place an offer on any picture please email Lynn at bondgategallery@googlemail.com or pop into the shop to view the rest of the range.
Additionally, the last few pieces of Ornamental Glass have 20% off during January.
Tweet if you know how !!!!
Well, this is still a massive learning curve for me, but we are on Twitter and using it regularly. You can follow me @BondgateGallery for any special offers, exhibitions and new paintings.
You can also follow Eric @artefici but he doesn't know what he's doing !!
Triptychs
Small Panoramic Gifts
Last week I introducted a range of Triptych prints to Bondgate Gallery. Each of these have 1 Landscape Print, flanked by 2 Square's.
You can view these by clicking this link, as I have made these small Gift's available to buy on-line.
Miniature Range
Gift Box Sets
Following the very successful introduction of a range of Gift Boxes in Bondgate Gallery, I have expanded the range available. Each Gift Box contains a set of four miniature limited edition Giclee prints by Eric Thompson (un-framed) and a Certificate of Authenticity.
The set of 4 prints to go in each box are now 'mix and match'. You can select any four prints from our range to go into the box. Keep in mind that any landscape pictures do have to be cropped to fit the square format.
These Gift Boxes will make an excellent present and are priced at a very low £20 each. As of today the 17th May, these are now available to buy here on-line, just follow this link.
E-Mail Request
We have some special offers coming up soon in the Gallery and our customers that are on Database will always hear about all of our Special Promotions and Exhibitions first. Email is by far the fastest and most convenient way to do this, and so if you wish to be added to our list or even just to confirm updated details, please send an email to bondgategallery@googlemail.com.
Many thanks
