Yes, we’ve just had a little break in Dartmouth. Took the cats (not Coco, as she pukes, poos and pees – in that order in the car – not pleasant for any of us), and of course the dogs. As you can see, the cats decided who slept where…poor old Bessie and Bailey. It was a very noisy journey to begin with, with stereo sounds from the two felines! Anyway we had a lovely restful (albeit very cold) time down by the sea, and I have since approached 2 of the art galleries in Dartmouth about my new collage work. One has very kindly come backto me to say the more modern sort of art doesn’t sell well in Dartmouth; which really doesn’t come as a surprise as we know the sort of stuff they sell, as we have bought from them ourselves. And as Nick pointed out at the time…”Is Dartmouth ready for this?”! So…..onwards and upwards….I shall be approaching more urban galleries who maybe are more ready! I did this new painting while in Dartmouth (that was one advantage of the cold weather…we couldn’t get out much – other than to the lovely pubs for lunches /dinners!). This is done in Gouache, as they are easier to transport than all my acrylics. I painted every day whilst there, and felt I really achieved something. Anyway, we’re back home now, and I’ve so far been too busy to do any more; but I intend to this afternoon after I’ve done this!
