Well, the hare sold a day after going online. The girls and I set off first class (thank you Helen) to revisit the Mall Galleries in the big smoke. Cheeky-chappie-rip-off-cabby later we arrived there and I had my photo taken again. We had 'the picture' taken outside by a couple of American tourists and made it to Covent Garden for lunch. Janie metamorphed into Fred Scuttle at some point during the procceedings and eye make up was wiped from streaming eyes. We went to the National Portrait Gallery and had a cream tea in the National Gallery while Henry V111 changed in the gents. The only downer on the day was the 'dry' train! The guard was sympathetic but not happy about 4 ladies of a certain age quoffing cava when the football fans were denied their cans of larger. Hey-ho. Here's me and here's the girls:
I have had a 'docket' from the Mall Galleries and was disappointed to find out they charge VAT on the commission - no wonder the paintings were so expensive. With the trip down, lunch and sundries I reckon I made £20 on that hare - BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT! I have sold twice in London in prestigeous exhibitions and that's the point!
I have had another piece accepted for an exhibition - the EAC Art Awards 2011 at the RSPA Gallery in Birmingham in May. I should add I suppose it is an exhibition for the over 60s. I do not know which one of the four I entered has been accepted but I bet it's the hare again. Watch this space.
Working hard to get stuff ready for the solo exhibition at Pam's. The main worry is getting everything there in one piece. Now the son has broken his thumb I fear I may be short of muscle - anyone offering?
