Thank you so much Magdalena for your good wishes.
May I add my congratulations to Helen and also wish her much success. Also all the best to yourself and Janina with the forthcoming Mural work – Wow 10 meters – It is great to think that they will be the beautiful backdrop of meetings between EU MPs and Professor’s of culture and education – I am sure they will be very inspiring.

Though I have not sold any work yet I have received some very good and sweet comments in my visitors book and also emails –
Like many fellow artists I paint for love and to share my creations with others so I feel this exhibition is a success and am happy to know my work has touched others.

Painted Poetry exhibition has been extended till 10th of April – The next artist only requires the space for last couple of weeks of April so I was pleased to be asked to keep the exhibition up till 10th.
The exhibition space is a free service to local artists.
Though the waiting list is 6 years long and growing.
All the staff at Leeds Art Library are very helpful and friendly.
Though I haven’t had any sales which is nothing unusual I have however had so many wonderful and encouraging comments left in my visitors book that it has been a most uplifting experience so far.
