Not much to blog about over the past couple of weeks. To be honest it's been quite a tough time with Mo - she gets very weepy and she can't tell me what's worrying her. I really don't want to put her back on anti-depressants unless I have to because it dumbs down the fun and laughter times, so we are using a lot of hugs.
Over the past two days I have been standing in the freezing cold trying to sell some of my artwork. If you follow this blog you will know that in September I started to get back into painting by doing some classes in acrylic painting. The art show on the streets of Maidenhead was great fun and I have met some lovely creative people. I was next to an astonishingly gifted watercolour artist who had produced some exquisitely detailed local landscapes, mostly on the river. He was such a lovely humble man and I am sure he could have charged much more for his beautiful paintings. I felt very insecure displaying my attempts next to his but he was so encouraging. In a strange way he reminded me so much of God who created this amazingly complex universe and then, having created me in his image, allowed me to work alongside him and express something of his creativity in my life.
Anyway - I did quite well and sold three pieces of my work - which was about the average with the other 40 or so artists. I have never sold any of my work before so it was a wierd feeling. The proceeds covered the cost of the pitch and another term of art lessons so I went home frozen but happy!
BY THE WAY - I STILL HAVE ABOUT 30 MASTERPIECES LEFT SO IF YOU ARE STUCK FOR IDEAS FOR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS . . . .
