AAP at the Town Hall (and a Milestone)

One of the art groups that I paint with, the AAP Collective (remember Art Ain't Pretty?), is exhibiting work at our local Town Offices. We hung the work yesterday and it will be there for the public to enjoy until the end of May. Enough room on the walls for 4 pieces each.
Just recently we have been making masks out of recycled cardboard and also clay. One of our artists is a potter and he fires our clay creations in his basement kiln.
Here are a few of our works.... more to come in future posts.




Can you guess which ones are mine?

OOOOOOH! Just noticed that this is blog post number 1000!!!!!!! A definite milestone. My first tentative blog post was November 2006. Such a lot has happened since then. I've retired from my work, my children left home, I lost my partner and lived alone for the first time, become Nana to four sweetie grandies, moved house.... I wonder what's next?

    1. I've definitely slowed down with posting in the last couple of years. It will take a very very long time to get to 2000.

  7. You must feel motivated to create works of art by exhibiting them periodically. I’m envious of such a talent in painting. It’s difficult for me to tell which is yours though I can tell mostly which are not yours. Anyway, congratulations on your 10000 posts. Mine is only 300 posts since 2010.

  8. How great to be able to display. The fact that someone may admire one of our works in passing is enough -- at least for me.

  9. No fair, you have to at least give us a clue 😊 Well done on the 1000th post. I was going to say doesn't time fly when you're having fun, but life isn't always fun. Looking forward to seeing more Shammi ✨
