Exhibition Day

This week has been fantastic. For a couple of days I was getting my paintings ready for the exhibition at Bursleden Brickworks heres a few photos

 

These are my pictures before mounting just after varnishing

Luckily they were left for a few days to dry while I went off to Kent to see the First Best Friend I ever made

Now Jayne (Jaynes Blog) is amazinng I arrived to freshly made rolls and baked ham with handmade pickle it was fantastic 

In the evening we had a delicious dinner and a catch up with two more old school friends 

The next morning I rose to the smell of freshly baked bread brilliant eh?

We had a shopping day in Bluewater were we indulged in a few craft shops and great food and milkshakes 

As a thankyou I gave her one of my Paintings 

She loved it I was so pleased 

On the last morning she made this fantastic cinnamon bun loaf it was very like chelsea buns totally delicious

and we then drove over to see her mum and dad two of my favourite people I always remember being young and thinking they were amazing I remember them dancing around their frontroom when I was about 11 years old and they have just never changed

After another hearty lunch in the Harvester I drove home always in my head that I really would love to move back to Kent xxxxxxxxx

Well back to the Exhibition Saturday was spent finishing off all the mounting ready for an early start on Sunday I had my kit all set up to ready to do some demos It was a very enjoyable day and I had lots of interest in this art I even got invited to do a talk and demo at a local craft group x
