Sunday saw the first market at the Village for absolutely yonks. I was there with the Spring Bay Suicide Prevention Network providing masses of written mental health info, the inevitable key rings, stress balls and magnets but also camellias from a friend's garden, sunflower seeds from the Mill and friendship bracelets made by the amazing Val. We had a very good time and totally forgot to take any photos.
After the market came the Opening of Steve's latest exhibition.
Tom did the Opening honours,
whipping the crowd into a frenzy of anticipation,
and then the artist took centre stage.
He literally worked the room,
giving the provenance of each work.
An early work of fire-ravaged trees at Paradise got particular mention
as did Steve's invention for holding new and used pastels.
The main works were the 12 paintings done for the 2021 calendar.
All very well received.
Then the audience was free to explore
naturally with a drink in hand.
All in all it was a lovely event and a great tribute to Steve and The Village.
