Great week; having my first exhibition with graphic artist, Marion Chastelas – she does mixed media collages. Opening night rocked. Sold Top Ten Favourite Men , For All Ages and Brokeback Mansion which wasn’t in the exhibition but goodo.
Marion entertained us with her original songs and one of the guys from her band and my children behaved beautifully :) It’s open daily from 10am to 4pm on Sunday. I’m doing the 10 -1pm shift and some forced study. And a bit of dvd watching. Friends are great., especially the ones with portable dvd players.
The photo’s are a bit cruddy as I was shy, yes shy, but you get the jist :)

Oh Cathleen, HALLELUJAH!! I’m so darn pleased for you…AND SALES!! The pictures look like it was very comfortable, lots of friends, proud (well behaved) family, and a success. Doesn’t get any better than that. I love the way the photographs and paintings are hung, very nice display. Get over the shy thing and take more pictures for us. Wish I could have been there too. Wonderful for you to do this. That you’ve actually sold work is just splendid past words. I hope you feel me beaming at you all the way from here, friend.
