As I am typing this on the Monday 26th, and have a HUGE week ahead, Im thinking "what a quiet relaxing week that was" ...
Went to Hunters Hill with my mum to collect unsold paintings from the Hunters Hill Art Exhibition. A very nice lunch at the local restaurant and a delightful visit to the little gallery there. Met a new artist Kerri Kerley whose works were emotive portrayals of indigenous children in watercolour &; mixed media. Click on her name to visit her website.
Thursday had exhausting fun creating drypoints and clay work with a couple of disability classes, as well as delivering to Macquarie Towns Arts Society for their Autumn Exhibition.
The opening was on Friday night, which was well attended. I also had the pleasure of picking up a couple of "Highly Commendeds" for a small magpie wood engraving and one of my "postcard paintings".
I spent Saturday morning with the MTAS display, talking to visitors about the work, and happily assisting them with their purchases. I also met with a new friend who had organised to pick up a couple of my paintings there from a previous sale earlier in the week.
Saturday night opened a small soiree at the Ferry Artists Gallery. More talking and smiling, and I felt wonderfully energised (considering how tired I felt just before I got there).
Other art related visits that week included a trip to The Art Scene to order some framing and a visit to Purple Noon Gallery to discuss my impending exhibition opening 7th June.
Saw a movie "Chef" which was a lovely light movie with interesting use of social media in the plot and AMAZING food. "Food Porn" I think that might be termed. Anyway, my daughter and I were starving hungy afterwards and in the absence of Cuban streetfood, we had to make do with Italian instead.
Finished two more paintings for the Exhibition. I think I should just concentrate on the big one thats on the easel for this last week of preparation. We shall see ....
Coming up:
Painting Demonstration at Bankstown Art Society Friday 30 May. All welcome.
