My day with Fannie and Fox..

As it turned out my day to look after the shop was a damp misty day.. 

As I left Falmouth on the train the fog horns were sounding, just as they are this morning.. 

I like the noise, such a simple sound to keep one safe..

So, here I was at the gallery thinking it would be very quiet due to the inclement weather.
Organised for once, I took paints, brushes and a couple of small canvases that I'd started the previous day and started work. (notice my improvised water container..)  I think people must have been curious because I had several people come in to see what on earth I was up to..

Needless to say I didn't get a lot done but I did have some very interesting conversations.

.. One conversation was about sound and a recent radio 2 program with Claire Balding, apparently it's about music and healing on a Saturday mornings.

This got me thinking.. Not really a good idea one might say, but, my question is..

Could I transfer sound into my work?

Which leads me back to the lighthouse in Falmouth sounding the fog horns as I sit and type this blog..

Have a good day everyone.. ~ Julie.

Ta da! The Autumn Exhibition at Fannie and Fox

My... Oh,  my.. It was raining bats and frogs...
Not that a little wind and rain can deter the fine folk of Cornwall.
So many lovely people came to see us, it was a joy and we all had a ball..

 

The window looked fantastic, despite worrying myself silly about it. So here is just a sample of the amazing work that was on show.

The private view comes to an end and it's time to reflect..
