Spring Update

Ok, so it took me a while to get over the shock of being part of a week-long art auction. Will Not Do It Again!
I felt so optimistic handing 4 works in - 3 drawings and a painting. The gallery promised me publicity and good things to come out of it, but I think that would be more true for them than for me (They did in all fairness warn me a little beforehand). Anyway... I sold all my work, which is good, right? Only all but one sold for a third of the price! Don't get me wrong - I needed the money, but I do try to be reasonable with the prices in the first place, so the profit is never much even at full price. Oh, well. As it works out it's a pretty good excuse not to write my blog until it's almost May, right?
My real excuse is that I have been working really hard from November 2008 to early April 2009 on a body of drawings for the Drawing Centre show in Oslo. 20 works in 6 months. I'm quite pleased. I also worked on a few commissions in the weekends, and have started a new series of paintings. The photo is of one of the commissions.
