Elisabeth and I collected all Joel's paintings from his studio and took them to the Oxmarket Arts Centre in Chichester . We put the show up making the lillies on the invite the first painting you see on entering the gallery. It was such a lovely sunny day we had a little picnic on the floor of the gallery and watched the black bird visit its new nest , ( made in a wonderful willow instillation by Mark and Rebecca Ford) in the courtyard. The paintings work well in the space , we weren't able to stick to Mikes original hanging plan as we added some pictures that Joel hadn't concidered putting in !
Joel and I went to do the pricing and labelling on Tuesday morning and do some more leafleting . Its Joel's first viewing of his show as he was in dialysis on Monday, and I think he was pleased with it !? But as ever too polite to say otherwise !
Joel's Mother couldn't spare his laptop to put in the show with the running blog on so I've put mine in and already had a comment from Cliff . I just set up another user account so that only the blog can be viewed .
The lovely Sofia has been marvellous making sure we have all we need , including lemon and ginger tea at regular intervals !
We also bought a Khadi Papers note book for signing in and comments/feed back, so all is complete.
The stress has all been a bit much for Joel who is at home resting , hopefully he'll be well enough to attend on Saturday's for 'meet the artist' 11-3pm
