Working on the latest commission after a successful day at the Morecambe Prom Art Fair last week. Working outside seems like the only option in this weather and I'll have to get use to it because that's the only option when we start travelling.
Also exhibiting in a new gallery in St Anne's www.fineartandframes.co.uk.
Walked into the gallery with some originals...and came out with some cash...bodes well for France, because that's the way it's going to work if we want the odd night in a hotel along the way. She also took some framed paintings on the usual 'sale or return' basis.
Only 26 days to setting off on the trip, but we have to prepare for the party before that. Fingers crossed, the weather will be fine because living in the smallest house in the world, it could get a bit claustrophobic for everyone if it rains. The plan is to party in the garden with the pizza oven and barbecue areas (not built yet) as the main focal points. We're starting early to accommodate the kids and elderly relatives but I think it will soon develop into the usual beer fest finishing in the early hours.
Plan to try out the new tent on Monday with a trip out on the bikes. We'll be fully loaded up with panniers, camping gear and easel to see how things work. Probably head up to Silverdale, which is about 15 miles further up the coast, and do a quick painting of the beach and local scenery while we're there. The tent hasn't come out of the wrapper yet so hope it's ok...not too late to get a new one!
