Me at Harris Museum Exhibition

The curator said he wouldn't take these photos unless I could prove the paintings were mine. I thought of passports or driving licences or utility bills. Instead he looked me sternly in the eye and asked me whether these paintings were mine. I said yes without flinching and he took the photographs.

Harris Museum pieces submitted today

Yes, it's that time of the year again. Last year I felt my Harris Museum submissions were a little conservative in subject and small in size. The pieces I've this year submitted are large (48 x 36 inches) and more engaging. I want to be able to see my paintings from the other end of the hall so that I can grin broadly and gesture vaguely in that direction when and if asked what I have submitted.  

There will be a big shindig on Friday 12th with wine and cheese. I have six complementary free invites to the private viewing and am likely to still have them on Friday unless my luck changes. I told the nice lady that I had no friends and she did not believe me which is a sort of complement I think.
