It was delightful to arrive in the gallery on Saturday and find ten or so young children spread around the floor doing their own snow pictures!

We had a lovely chat, and they were clearly enjoying the exhibition and having fun.

Today I met Sheena whose comments on the blog I have enjoyed for years! It was so good to put a lovely friendly face to the name (we had to remove our masks momentarily - who'd have thought it?) I am so glad she and her friend Lesley got a fine sunny day for their trip to Dunoon.

Yet more fun with my friend Lynne Cameron, a onetime student of my Drawing For Non Artists course at the University of York, now a full time painter. See her vibrant work here.

It's wonderful to be meeting up with people face to face again.

It was so lovely to meet you yesterday, Freda, and my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our day. Your paintings looked good online but it really doesn't do them justice and to see them displayed in that lovely space was inspiring. So good to make a real life connection and hope you mange to meet lots more friends during the exhibition. How wonderful that your painting is bringing so many people together.

Real life connections, and bringing people together. Wonderful!

So glad you were also able to meet up with Sheena.

Love the vision of ten children scattered across the floor of the exhibition room making their own snow pictures. How that must have made your heart sing. Your exhibition has been its own kind of "booster" for many of us. And the only after effects are lovely memories. :)

Wouldn't it be fun if you could take your paintings on an exhibition tour. ? You could stop at strategic venues so that your blog friends could come along to see your work and to meet up in person !! Highly impractical I know but a fun thought ! It is great that you're meeting up with friends old and new . Your months of hard work are being richly rewarded.

I love your idea! Maybe I could hire you to organise it?
