A little break to regroup and plan ahead

The beautiful works in the current show at the Gallery are an inspiration - Claire Burnham is so young and so accomplished already.
The show was a surprise in another way - the Gallery is now smaller than I expected. The Gift Shop has expanded to accomodate more displays on a regular basis, not just during Summer and Christmas. Interestingly, several really active local artists are displaying their works in the Gift Shop as members there not just in  Gallery shows.  The Arts Council has a new Artist-in-Residence program and one artist paints publicly in the Program Space weekly. That initiative is really good to see. 
I might have enough finished works already for my show in this smaller space. I am working with the Curator to start the show preparation steps - title, poster, reception event,  documentation, publicity and the all-important "whatever shall I wear" decision!
