I'm pleased to say it was a SUCCESS
@ Arlington Court
We had around 250 people through the door and a lot of those people stopped to chat to either myself
or Graham and, of course, William blog🔗
Sold some paintings and raised a substantial amount of money for Arlington, specifically towards
the Boudair Silk fund (moths and bugs are always trying to chomp their way through it, hence it needs saving)

on the first day, Saturday, we had our daughter Lil and little Hamish helping out too
at the end of the second day, I had made inroads with the next painting,
this will be completed at home
Yes, we did have a lot of visitors honestly,
but didn't take photos of them purely out of courtesy.

this will be completed at home

Congrats on a fantastic and successful exhibition!!
Congrats!
I knew your weekend would be a huge success. Well done on your sales and raising money for Arlington Court. Had to smile at Graham's contribution :) Lovely that the family, William and Hamish shared the spotlight with you.
Thanks Christine, it all came together thank goodness :)
Thanks CJ, it was nice meeting the visitors :)
Thanks Eileen, I always feel quite nervous about setting these things up, but it worked, phew!! I think we all enjoyed the event :)
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! :D
Congratulations on your successful exhibition, Ann! It looks great!
Thanks Judy :)
So pleased.
Congratulations.
All the best Jan
Gosh, jolly good and well done! It's so uplifting when someone actually wants to pay real money for an original art work. I am part of two shows coming up, both exhibited in theatre lobbies, but I think it's purely for decoration, I don't think people go to the theatre to buy art!
Thanks Shammickite, we enjoyed the two days. All the best with your upcoming exhibition at the theatre. Art is a funny thing, buyers have all sorts of reasons for purchasing art, if it is displayed it has a better chance to sell than not there ;)
