Saturday 23rd February

Well I suppose that some days there will be little to write and others a lot. Where do I start? Well it was all looking good. I had got up early enough to deliver the posters with ‘Today’ film showing on them, and buy odds and ends needed. The red wool was installed out side, (redthreadtrail!) the poster stuck to the wall beside the door, and the stair curtain/canvas installed.  But that door knocker that I had put off fixing to the door for one year was still in it’s box. So ten minutes before kick off I was outside with a screwdriver doing the job. All finished in time and the first little group of three arrived. Reg and Pat from Saint Peters and Jean. It was a nice warm feeling to have an audience and to have the film working. Sonja’s wonderful short animations worked beautifully with my rather lengthy films, and really if I had a say in the matter she would make some more! Other than a lull from 1-3pm, friends arrived sometimes one alone and sometimes it seemed all at once! It was surprising how many people knew each other and the conclusion to the event was that nobody much comes as a direct result of the posters. This kind of event works best through friends and by invitation.

Nadja and Rachel came with Sonja(animation) and Pernilla. It was jolly, and there was tea/coffee, and cakes. I felt so touched that Sara and Sarah came too. Thank you everyone for your support.  I can’t tell you how much it was appreciated.  Anyone reading this support your fellow artists when they have a show.  It helps so much, and makes it feel successful.

I had a comment sheet and as a result of positive feedback I certainly would consider doing a second film showing …… that means more films, or others films?

Others perhaps as I need to get back to painting for a while!

Enter through the front door and turn left!!!

(when there was a film showing we turned out the lights, but lights on for this photo snap)

Sonja has a blog: legendarylobster.tumblr.com and I have posted one of my films (other one to come) on my blog jenniewrightuca.blogspot.com
Reading the different blog entries I find my style a little dry. Excuse my English you Finish girls!! And Rachael I love your writing style.
