Post exhibition plans

After the successful Bondi exhibition, I've been occupied delivering artworks to friends, acquaintances and others. It's with delight that I see the vacant walls and the opportunity to start again. A few plans I had in mind:

1. Paint a few urbanscapes, starting with Sydney. Particularly older buildings like the town hall and QVB.

2. Paint the blue mountain vista on a grand scale. Did I mention the little painting I did inspired by David's mountains? It was up only to replace something sold but Frank almost sold it on the last day to an Englishman ..... If only the wife was absent ...

3. Get ready for Europe by painting some travel sketches in watercolour.

It looks like I'm going to be very busy...

Fame

After much pestering of the Wentworth Courier by Frank, the journalist did run a feature of us. Here it is in all it's glory.


I'm pleased with the publicity. Hopefully this will translate into more visitors and sales. Minding the gallery is both a chore and a delight. One has to be present 10-5 and have to covered off if going to the loo or getting a coffee. However some interesting people visit - there's lots of opportunities for chats. One bloke came every time I was on duty. Another came with a baby in sling, a dog under his arm and a coffee in the other hand. A woman paid me the highest compliment by asking if she could learn how to paint under my tutorage. You quickly work out which paintings have fans and why. I'm not sure I can be retail assistant for long - probably lose the plot after a week!
