2 August 2010 Progress!

The Fiveways Artists Group exhibition in France at Chateau Bosmelet has just opened. Fran Doherty sent us an email today with a progress report. Here is a picture showing a corner of the exhibition with one of my paintings. [It is the little one on the right showing Brighton Bandstand]

Some of the group were at the private view. Here is a picture showing some of the antics at the private view. What are they up to?

The London Lives competition have posted their long list of 200 artists who have succeeded so far in the competition. I was nervous and rather relieved when I saw that my name was in the list. I have spent a bit of time searching Google to see more about the other 199. Crikey, they are good! Check it out here http://www.guardian.co.uk/london-lives/longlist

The new conservatory roof is in place. Steve has done a very good job. It rained a little over the weekend and all is well. No leaks, self cleaning glass OK, oak beams look wonderful. Next step is replastering the living room, and installing a new window in the back room. Maybe we can get our house back soon. We have got to do a load of redecorating before the next Open House, in 14 weeks time. Yikes.
