Well, it has happened, and nearly a week has rushed by! Thank you to all of you who came & supported me, & especially those of you who bought paintings & prints - all the money will be donated to the Woodland Trust.
Luckily my friend, photographer & artist Sarah Knowler was there to make good use of my camera for me - thank you Sarah :-)
I am not going to post many of her lovely shots of friends & family, but have selected 5 that show off the venue the best. The beautiful Forge venue in Camden, London is well worth a visit ( details on flier on previous post ) and these pics are taken in their upstairs room - the Foundry Gallery - which is about to become a sought-after place to exhibit. I am proud to be the 2nd artist to do so.
It was lovely (once over my nervousness) to show various family & older & newer friends some of my work from the last 3 years, & celebrate after with a delicious meal there too.
Here it is :-
I must add that this last photo is of my nephew, Adam Caird, who dreamed up & runs this wonderful place with his wife Charlotte; and he is holding my irresistable great-niece Isla, who had dressed perfectly for the occaision !!
I am deep in exhibition preparation mode (see flier 2 posts ago ) & its amazing how much time it takes up putting hooks & string on the backs of paintings, cutting bubble wrap to size, making labels etc etc .. Probably wont post again till I have put the exhibition up next tuesday.
Luckily a friend came down last week for a long w/e and that stopped me spending too much time on it. Even better we had some consecutive days of glorious sunny but not too cold autumn weather, & took our cameras for walks. I am the proud owner of a new compact, & chuffed with the opportunity to take better photos - I hope my occaisional posts here will thus improve..
Here is an example of one of those lucky moments, & here's to friends that come & take us out of ourselves :-) .. you know who you are ..
