A few people came and went, all leaving good remarks in the communal comments book and there will be more tomorrow, but I cant be there. Never mind. I managed to start, and almost complete, a painting whilst I was there. Had a really good day. Met a few more of the artists in the collective and am starting to feel at home there. I really think was a good move for me, even if I can only get there twice a week or so. Anyway, this is the painting I spoke about, painted from a sketch from life, and the other shows its setting in my space with my table laid out with promotional material for the hordes of visitors.
The private viewing of the OPEN 20 at city gallery, Leicester happened last night and was a great success. So nice to see my painting on display in there, at last. Met Gen Doy, art history tutor at DMU who had managed to get two works accepted.................including a photograph of herself naked with a stuffed swan, alluding of course, to the traditional paintings of times gone by. I believe there is another viewing on Monday which the accepted artists have been invited to rather than just anybody. I shall of course as I intend to milk this for all its worth. Its taken me such a long time to get in there Im going to enjoy every minute !!!!
