New Beginnings........

Firstly, the Tamar Valley Art Trail was launched on 9th December:

Here's the motley crew with the State Premier, Lara Giddings (she's the one with the signature scarf). Great launch at Velo Winery.

And then it was down to Hobart to set up my work in the "Images of Tasmania" exhibition in Salamanca's Long Gallery. Great opening on the 12th......a real buzz! Not quite sure about champagne at 8 am, however.....still pondering that one!

Leila and Laurence - my 17 y.o. grandchildren (cousins)

Last Sorrydoll

I was determined to finish this before I retired last night.........and that I did - at 2:00 am! So here she is: the third Sorrydoll and the final one for the December exhibition.

And here are the three of them together - you can see how similar/different they are:

I only have one more piece planned for the exhibition and will make a start on it this weekend with about ten days up my sleeve to get it completed. Once it is done, I can relax a little bit. Looking forward greatly to being in Hobart on the 11th December to set up and then for the opening at 8:00 am on the 12th.
