Opening Night

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

    1. Thanks Terry, finding opportunities to exhibit can be more of a challenge than doing the paintings where I live
