Imagine Gallery

I don't think that I have ever done this before.

Writing a post immediately after an exhibition opening, in fact while it is still open.

I always intend and always forget to take photographs at the event, today was no exception,

it was only as the visitors started to dwindle that I gave thought " blimey, I have no pictures as usual", so it was only as people started to leave that I pulled out my camera.

Alas, too late as usual but I did manage to get one picture of Louise Richardson before she left for celebratory drinks with her family at a nearby pub.

I would have loved to gone with them but as there were still people coming through the door it seemed a little too premature, even for me.

Also, there was still wine here and after all someone has to drink it.

I put myself forward for the job, it had to be done.

The snaps I did manage to take were very poor and are a poor representation of the exhibition,

Louise and her work.

Still anything is better than nothing.

Besides, I am away for a couple of days now collecting work in Yorkshire, Cumbria and

Newcastle, so the chances of me writing anything for a few days are very slim.

However, I do hope to come back refreshed from a stay at the 'Green Dragon' in North Yorkshire with lots of pictures and tales to tell.

Until then here is just a little glimpse of today's exhibition opening.

'New Work by Louise Richardson'

The work on show more than made up for the poor title.

Above is a piece named 'Tattling' which was the first to sell, which is always the way when there is something that you wanted for yourself.

Then of course is Louise with her [shedded snakeskin] dress 'Charm' in the background.

Lastly is the most unusual piece we have ever shown.

'Telling Tales'

A dress made from nails, now that's not something you see on the street very often.
