Well, I have just had my first solo art exhibition and it was a brilliant experience! With a private viewing on Friday night and the main exhibition yesterday I have seen a lot of lovely people and sold quite a bit of artwork. It was hard work preparing for the show but it was also fun. I really enjoyed it and will do it again sometime given half a chance! I had help from my other half and my son-in-law who made sure that my main poster looked a bit more "fitty". A big thank you to all family members and friends who supported the event.
As I sit here I have just finished one of three commissions I took on over the weekend. I hope my customers will be pleased with the results. In the coming week I have to get more materials to fulfil other orders but I am glad that at least one is completed already. It's a festive thing so it was important to get on with it.
A lot is happening this month. I am looking forward to some social occasions, some of them Christmas parties! At the end of the month there will be the Presentation Evening and Christmas party of my tennis club. This is always a big event. I am so pleased to be a recipient of a trophy again this year. Unfortunately, my lovely doubles partner will not be able to be with me to receive it. She has moved away for part of the year but will hopefully be back in late spring 2025 to get her hand on the prize before the next club championship.
After our first pickleball tournament we have all got the taste for this new game. We can't wait to get out there and hit a few balls around. Our pickleball tournament and charity was a great success. Thanks to our club member Mark A we have been invited to present the cheque for the monies raised at the Cornwall Air Ambulance Headquarters in Newquay next week. It will be a good publicity opportunity for our club and a great experience, particularly if we will be able to see a helicopter close up. A small group of us will be in club gear for the photo call!
So, that's it so far. I can't wait to have a proper website revamp in December (not until after 20th though!)
