Strathfield opening
Despite the horrid weather, we had a very good opening at the McGlade Gallery at Catholic University in Strathfield this afternoon. There was heaps of food and wine. The speeches by Diana Thomas and Kirry Toose were excellent. And the artwork was duly admired.
Kirry quoted Guillame Apollinaire
“Come to the edge.
We can't. We're afraid.
Come to the edge
We can't. We will fall!
Come to the edge.
And they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.”

Shoalhaven Art Centre opening
Today our show opened in Nowra. Two other exhibitions opened as well ensuring a good crowd.
Bill Collins who was kind enough to open our exhibition, entertained the crowd and hopes that somebody will devise a show with all the wonderful emblems used by LA studios in a Golden Years of Holloywood retrospective.
We were pleased with the room and the expert hanging by the Shoalhaven Art Centre team.
