A Brush With Nature.....

A few pics from my show 'A Brush With Nature ' at  _____ ( I 've decided to remove the gallery name from this post because I don't want my images plastered all over Google images ha ha) on Saturday. We ate lots of good vegetarian food, and drank lots of good wine, while listening to the Edwin s wonderful guitar playing away in the background.

I was pleased with the presentation of my work, and to see all my paintings under the spotlight was something else, if not a bit daunting. Painting for the love of it is one thing - having it scrutinized by the public is another. Being able to see my work displayed in this context, gives me better perspective on what my work looks like as a whole. It's a struggle to balance the demands of every day life and to keep that consistency in my work. I wish I could devote more time to it, without being pressured by government departments that see no real  value in art as a career nor give any support. There's the dilemma.
