Secret of Vintage Jewelry

Greetings dear followers!

Just a quick posting to say that I have now arranged another wall display for our group (one painting each) – this time at Bolsover library from 13-29th April (none of the group know about it yet). We also have another one in Worksop from 13 April – 7th June, at The Crossing, Worksop. I will announce these soon on the main website “News” section. It was quite by chance that I found that the library now has this display area. I only went there to give them a poster for the forthcoming Easter exhibition, then was taken by surprise by being confronted by two walls covered in paintings. I might also have a display in my own right as I have enough to do one now.

I am more or less ready for the aforesaid Easter exhibition now, having had the annual tussle with the group’s mount cutter several weeks ago. It drove me mad and took all morning, but by the end I had five or six presentable looking paintings in neat frames. You couldn’t see the dining room table for most of that time – or most of the room – but, within an hour of finishing, everything was spick and span ready for Elizabeth coming round to have her paintings photographed.

I also went to a business support group meeting last night. We had an interesting guest speaker, who fits burglar alarms. He told us a scary tale of someone who had witnessed a burglary, but it didn’t worry me too much - we have our own alarm at home and are always conscious of security. I experienced so much crime when I lived in Sheffield and other cities, I think nothing of whatever I’ve heard about happening here.

The meetings are held at the same place the art group meets and it always seems odd to go there and sit in a different place and not do something arty.

That’s about all for now, I will be back next week.
