Its early am the morning after and I am just about down from the high of last nights opening of my first solo exhibition which now runs until June 11th. I had a tension headache all day but threw myself into a painting on a watercolour canvas (really different to use) that is to be a birthday gift and the concentration must have helped as the headache vanished in time for the hours journey to my opening. It was well attended with about 70 or so coming through during the two hours and I am very grateful for the numbers that made it because like us, a huge detour had to be made to get there because of a bad bushfire and road closures making the trip really long. Four paintings ended up with red stickers so I am so thrilled. Thank you all too for your kind wishes and support this past week

Well done on those sales Lorraine fantastic... and on the opening night too... might be a sell out!! Am not surprised either..the Autumn Texture painting was fantastic, would have been very tempted by that myself!!
