First of all was Margaret Harding, who arrived to drop off one of her bags and a stunning new painting. Margaret is a person who lives and breathes her artwork. She is prolific, eclectic and varied. she produces quilts, bags and a breathtaking range of paintings. "Winter Sky" is her latest offering to the universe.
A quick visit turned into a two-hour kids' plaque party. Margaret thoroughly enjoyed every second of activity with the children and promised, foolishly, to be available for more workshops for our aspiring junior artists. Watch this space for next school holidays.
Jennie Couper dropped in to pick up "Echidna". She has had interest in this beautiful little watercolour and needed to take this painting away. But, Jennie more than made up for removing "Echidna" as she presented us with "Dancing Brolgas" and "Red Hot Pokers". Wow. Jennie asked me which painting I would like to have in the Gallery. When I responded we wanted both paintings, she did not turn a hair. She was pretty pleased, I think.
And so, another rewrite of the catalogue is called for. David Lillico has also swapped his stained glass window for a beautiful little kookaburra hanging. We are so lucky to have these extraordinary artists bringing their treasures to us for the East End Gallery.
Looking forward to seeing new guests and old friends in the East End Gallery soon.
