The Exhibition

The exhibition opening on Friday night was really good. It was a much bigger deal than I was expecting-- hundreds of people, and hundreds of paintings.

I was super-chuffed when we walked in, about ten minutes after the doors opened, and one of my pictures had already been sold! I was so happy and surprised, and didn't care much about what else happened after that. And then yesterday I got a call to say that the other one had sold as well, so, you gotta be happy with that!

Artistically I love how this photo is framed to highlight the 'no photography' sign.

Ben McLaughlin said...

Christine- Thanks!

Joanna- Maybe.. but a packet of what is the question.

Izaac- I know. I encourage this kind of rebellious behaviour in my wife.
