The exhibition wrapped up late November, while I was in Japan. Successful by my modest standards as I sold 4/9 paintings which have gone to their new owners. Had a very disrupted 2022 with 3 operations, followed by a Christmas Covid infection. Blah. Have been accepted for my third solo show in November so it’s something to work towards which is exciting. Have all the rough ideas, a body of work about family history and the colonial gold rush of north eastern Victoria. I just need to paint! Got in the mood the past 2 days with a little tweaking of an existing work. Entered it in an art prize, but very hard to be a finalist. Secret Forest was a good little earner, paid for an artist talk and a work was on the cover of a publication. Also had a small work in an exhibition in Craigieburn be used for a greeting card and sold that painting too.
