I am determined that this is the year that I will paint and paint and paint...in the hope of achieving some decent work. I have been offered a small exhibition at a gallery in Bristol...much to my amazement! I am excited and terrified in equal measures. What's the worst that can happen? Everybody says''what a load of rubbish'' and thinks they can do better. I'm no worse off, but I'll have had the experience and I think that's something to be pleased about.
