Art Support

Three drawings transferred today at Art Support; A second version of a surreal portrait of my friend Andrew, a flower of awe! and the giant snail-mountain that is about tiredness. The flower is a new idea that just popped right into my head one night. It's very simple but I decided it was perfect for an oval frame that a dear friend gave to me.

My friend Kath Laird there agreed to drop off three pictures for an exhibition in Trafford on Friday, and she and her husband Peter have collected lots of paintings for an exhibition in Nantwich tomorrow which they did despite the rules calling for members to deliver them personally. Another friend there, Jean Briers had a picture of mine waiting too, after collecting it for me from the RBSA Gallery in Birmingham, and another friend there, Susan Mascarenhas helped me take the whole lot home in the very icy driving conditions. Without the kindness of these people I'd really struggle to exhibit, in some cases I simply couldn't. I owe them so much and can offer so little.
