The SALA exhibition went quite well in early August, lots of people turned up to the opening that took place alongside 17 other exhibition openings. Met many artists and people interested in the arts. Really great to get out there and talk to people. People have such different tastes in art works, even within my own range of paintings! Even managed to sell a few pieces so that's always good news. Another group exhibition with the theme 'Carnivale' came right after the SALA one. Such a relief to be part of a group exhibition that I didn't have to organise myself. But I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy organising the opening etc. Lots of anticipation and butterflies followed by wine and finally getting my pieces out there for all to love or criticize. But the support I got was fantastic. Thanks for to all those who made it.

There is a whole bunch of group exhibitions that are coming up in October and November that I have registered for, so will be busy getting ready for them. I do like the new style I am using at the moment however I'm not sure what other people think of it, as my older pieces are still selling. Should I stick to the old or go for the new style. I have tried to merge the two as best I can but I can't always paint the same stuff..?

Most of my new work are on http://www.flickr.com/photos/michelle_lee so have a look and let me know what you think.

Im still working at Michel's patisserie, getting that cash money and doing graphic design on the side.

Phil and I really have to figure out exactly when we are going to NZ for Christmas and his dad's birthday, as the tickets are getting really expensive/or booked out. We want to take 3 weeks and travel around from kiataia, down to auckland, and then to rotorua and wellington. We really want to go to south island, hopefully visit christchurch and seem some of the south island's natural landscapes. Don't know how we go yet.. as we want to do renovations to the house as well.
So many things to do, so little time...
