JOINT EXHIBITION WITH JUDY ROBERTS
GWYNFA GALLERY, VILLA 57 KHALIDIYA VILLAGE (behind Khalidiya Mall) 28th St., Abu Dhabi.
Dubai artist Judy Roberts and I will be having a joint show - again at the GWYNFA GALLERY - on NOVEMBER 5th- 7th. We will have approximately 40 pieces between us, and should be a terrific mix . Paintings, drawings, original prints and mixed media.
Opening reception thursday 7pm 5th November, subsequent days 10am - 7pm - we will probably be around for most of the show to chat. The opening evening is usually a good wine and nibbles do, and a chance to meet new friends or neighbours - and buy incredible works of art, of course !

BLOGS R US
After much thought, and inspite of off-putting remarks from my husband, I have finally set up a blog. There is also a direct link to it from the main index list.
RAMADAN BAZAARS
For once there are events happening in Ramadan, even though half the population flees abroad. I have just returned from 2 weeks in London, which was rather good. Enjoyed the RA summer show, usual mix of 30% great stuff and.... the rest...... one wonders why they bothered.
I have 6 pieces in the Ramadan Affordable Art fair, Ghaf Gallery 23rd Aug-7th Sept - all etchings.
1-5th September I have made the decision, perhaps foolishly, to do 5 nights at the Meridien Hotel Art and Craft Fair.They are holding the event in the empty Turkish Restaurant room, with its lovely painted vaulted ceiling. Must remember to take a book, incase it's quiet. People may end up just eating in the surrounding restaurants instead of buying our wares !
Summer in the City
Well, we are sweltering away here, and it's not even August. Temperatures have been up to 45C so far. Phew !
I'm trying to get on with work for two up-coming shows later in the year - Fanaan's themed show, 'Foreign', and a joint exhibition I'm doing with Judy Roberts (from Dubai). They are both to be held at the Gwynfa Gallery - in someone's villa, in Khalidiya Village. Fabulous space, with room for up to 40 pieces.
I have also booked a space at the Swisslinx Christmas Fair again, at the Beach Rotana Hotel - 3 days in a shed again (oh sorry, chalet !) It was surprisingly successful last year, with tourists and local residents mingling , buying......and partying basically. Quite bizarre to see people wandering around outside, in the garden, with glasses of wine from Spinneys drinks stand. It helped keep people there browsing I must admit.
Re. the 'Foreign' theme for Fanaan group, it's turning out to be more interesting than I'd anticipated and I am doing mixed media paintings, also incorporating etchings, lettering, photos etc. I'm having great fun. One of the collages, 'Stranger in a Strange land', is particularly autobiographical. It was wierd that although I knew of the Robert Heinlen book of that title (and Leon Russel's song of course) it was only yesterday that I saw it, unread, on our bookshelf. WHAT ??!! goosebumps. We dont know how it got there.
Whether anyone else will like them is anyone's guess !
I have also started doing things to do with 'birds' and birdcages - kicked off by a dried, flat, quashed bird I found in the carpark (and some of the 'Foreign' ideas) - I'm just finishing a painting of it. well, each to his own eh ?
