Well, the opening of the show went very well – there were a lot of people there and the whole thing was very enjoyable. The gallery owner took a group photo of all the exhibitors, and here we are. Left to right, we have Laura (jewellery), Ian (woodcarving), Lallah (weaving), Judith (textiles), Mahri (textiles), Sue (painting), me, Gerry (photography) and Frances (painting). And it was very kind of the photographer to position us in front of my big pigeon panel!
A clutch of Strathdon artists
By the end of the opening, much to my astonishment I had sold three works, all of them studies of trees. One was the grey winter landscape with leafless trees, one was the tree with gold leaves, and the last one was a work I haven’t yet posted here. It was a study of trees on the slope outside our bedroom window, and to be honest I didn’t think it was all that successful. Looking at it now I should really have put more trees in, so the forest would look a bit more dense. I should also have put in a few more small twigs on the bare trees. But who am I to criticise the taste of my customers!
Trees on a slope: it could be improved but all the same it sold quickly at the show
Hooray!!! I knew you’d be a great success! What a great looking clutch of artists, too.
Maybe you’ve identified the new trend? Maybe this is the year of the tree the way last year was of the chicken?
So happy for you!! I liked the trees when I first saw it.
Great job! Love the pigeons in the background.
