Four weeks this time! But what a busy time I've been having. No, I'm not sunning myself in the Caribbean, I'm sitting in front of this wretched computer working on the Art Society Stuff! And thank you Marian for the great words.
For some reason I have taken on the secretarial work for the society and besides learning the ropes, have had to transfer a load of information (including 450 email addresses) onto my systems. Just when I thought everything was running smoothly, along comes an exhibition which required a tonne of paperwork! But now I know what's what, should be easier next month.
Despite the work, I managed to finish (and sell) a painting for this last exhibition. In winter, sales are notoriously slow, so I am very happy that someone liked mine.
