Open Studio weekend

The open weekend went well, a lot of people came in and were interested in my paintings, although the first thing everyone commented on was the lovely fireplace.
The space worked well for my paintings, I hadn't noticed earlier how the shadows and shape of the roof echoed the shaped boards I work on. Surroundings really do make a difference, people appeared relaxed in the room and stayed browsing through my work for quite some time.
Earlier in the week I made a sudden decision to apply for an MA Drawing course, so It was a mad rush to put together a portfolio for the interview the day before the Open weekend. I enjoyed it even though there were some difficult questions it made me think hard about some aspects of my work.

But great news I have just heard that I have been accepted on the course, I am exited about how this will affect what I do in the future, I have definitely stirred things up now.
