Woolgoolga Exhibition - 6th Feb 2009

A pinch and a punch for the first of the month! It is now 4 mths since landing back here....and I am so pleased I did!
My injured leg still restricts me endlessly and is the cause of melancholy at times, but because I am somewhere I love, I can endure it far better than where I had been previously. I think that my paintings are testimony to that as well, as I see that I am more focused and my paintings give me a different kind of release. Yes they always provided an escape for me and my usage of colours lifted my spirits, but now it is much more than that...I feel settled and am at ease. Rather than trying to bolster my self esteem and confidence, I am now painting with a different attitude...it is an attitude of "I CAN do this!"
My first exhibition in "The Woolgoolga Art and Craft Gallery" is about to unfold! and I am very excited to be able to share what I do with people I know from around this district. I can honestly say, that there is an almost "electric" buzz going around and friends and acqaintences are so very keen to see my work displayed and be there with me on the night. If they were unable to attend on the 6th Feb...thats ok, as my work will be up for the remainder of Feb...its all good!
