Day Two Hundred and Twenty Three - Darla's Art Exhibition

Dear all,

After an early start and full day of admin planned, I decided to take a mini detour down to Creemore to see my lovely friend, Darla's, art exhibition. She is exhibiting in the Curiosity House Book Shop [See Day One Hundred and Seventy] and I was very excited to see her work.

I had seen a couple of her pieces at our art class but she had been working hard on a whole new catalogue of paintings for the exhibition using some new techniques and media.

I arrived on a cold, blustery day to a quiet Creemore high street and the warmth of the Book Store was a haven against the driving rain.

I entering the store, I could see Darla's work is hung throughout and looks absolutely fantastic!

She has used a wide variety of styles and my favorite is this one below, 'Magic Carpet'. I found myself staring at it for what seemed like hours. It is totally beautiful.

I ended up chatting to the owner of the bookstore afterwards [a fellow artisan who specializes in weaving] and she persuaded me to exhibit in the future... yikes! I will have to get painting!

And in other news:

1. The snow tyres are on; the winter windscreen wipers are installed; the oil has been changed: I am ready.
