I have come back home from holiday, refreshed and with a spring in my step. ......and now the games begin or rather the exhibitions. Twenty unframed paintings pristinely covered and labelled, entry forms filled in and duly returned and framed paintings inspected for scratches and those little bugs that can get through sicky tape and crawl into the center of your paintings. Move over Tom Cruise those little bugs should be the stars of the Mission Impossible films, nothing can stop them. The excitement starts to mount. I just love this time of year. It doesn't matter if you don't sell anything but it is such a pleasure to meet other like minded people. Anybody out there doing art shows and exhibitions this year.....I wish you all the best.
