Real artist now!

I put two pictures in an exhibition in the church in Great Mongeham.  Today was the first day of the exhibition and I sold a picture!  I am over the moon! It was my Sweetheart cabbage, which I rather liked and was pleased with. Someone else liked it too and it will be hanging on their wall.  I hope it goes to a good home.  It is a wonderful feeling to know that something I made is appreciated.  Apparently it is going to hang in the 'green room' in a house in the village.  The picture attracted them because the cabbage is vaguely heart shaped - which I had not noticed!

Last week I went to see the Rory McEwen exhibition.  It was fabulous.  The most amazing thing was his use of space.  The leaves or vegetables seem to be falling or floating.  He thought nothing of putting one leaf in one corner of the vellum and nothing else.  He painted leaves that were damaged and almost skeletonised.  He painted mouldy and decaying vegetables.  He did flowers too but the leaves and veg were my favourites.  Truly inspirational.
