Goodbye to my old studio

A long time since I posted, but.... I have been working very hard changing studios.
I have been in my last one for ten years, seven of them sharing it with the youngsters in my then art group, so it holds many memories. But it was time to move on, or sideways in my case.

It was strange seeing it empty.

Photos of the Autumn Art Market - Paintworks in Bristol

At the crack of dawn, it was up and off to an early start on the drive to Bristol, pitches allocated on a first-come-first- served basis, and then the rush to get set up in time for visitors.
The Paintworks is an interesting venture, a work in progress:

The gentleman is looking closely at one of these..........


.............a sand strawberry! A very old idea -  many of us may remember our grandmothers having one in their sewing basket, and using it to keep needles sharp. I make them by the dozen!


And finally, dear Diana, on duty and sporting one of my bags.
