Greetings
As I have posted previously, my father died on the Tuesday before Easter.
I had just left him in a care home for two weeks respite care, so I would not worry whilst being away at Eastercon over the long Easter weekend.
I was persuaded that we should still go, as having people round me would be better than sitting at home.
We were giving our friend, Melusine, a lift and she arrived on the Wednesday.
We set out on Maunday Thursday about lunchtime and made reasonable time, despite a few traffic delays.
Teddy helped me set up my display in the artshow, where (for the first time in many years) none of the pieces had been shown before. I had many positive comments about my paintings- and no few groans at some of the puns in my cartoons..
It was a good convention and I attended seeveral program items of interest. I even managed to avoid spending too much in the dealers' room ( Though this was partly due to Teddy buying a substantial number of books that I will be reading after him).
The art show was trying out a new format. It was instant sale, rather than bid/auction. I think this is an improvement, as very few pieces went to auction in previous years.
I sold one small painting, called 'Nuthatch'
I suspected that these were the two most likely to sell and am particularly pleased that they were bought by two of my friends.
There was no masquarade, but there was a 'wear something fabulous' mixer. I wore an alternate history take on my 18th hussar uniform. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures, but I plan to don it again and get some, so I can post more on that later.
Until next time
Adieu
