SEA CHANGE - The story behind the exhibition - APRIL 2021!
Posted by Caroline Valpied on
In January 2020, after a full year of painting and planning, I held my second solo exhibition and that's where I met the talented Tim Freeman. Tim paints landscapes, but while mine could be described as fairly classical, Tim reduces the landscape to flat shapes creating striking, modern artworks. I love his work!
We followed each other on social media for the next 6 months or so and as I flew into full flung panic over COVID-19 and what it would do to my art business,
I asked him to consider a joint exhibition with me. Good idea. Scheduled for April 2021...with Nov-Jan being my busiest time of year. Maybe not such a good idea!
Like all things though (when you put in the effort), it's working out. I scheduled myself to paint one painting a week from 1st Jan to end of February. Done. It's quite stressful working this way, but I've always been good with deadlines. So 8 paintings plus 2 small ones from 2020. Tim will show ten too.
If you're wondering how I work with a three year old...the short answer is - I don't. He's in daycare a couple of days a week and in kinder some mornings. I paint during those hours.
And where I paint...well, you won't see any pictures of that! I paint at the end of our garage, shifting my chair to avoid the whipper snipper, sniffing the delicious aromas of damp cut grass from the lawnmower, turning up the music to drown out the hum from the beer fridge!
But I LOVE IT! I love all of it...taking photos out and about, getting excited about them in front of the canvas, promoting my work on social media, talking to kind people at the summer markets, sitting in my space in the garage, mixing colours, making magic. Don't get me wrong, there is a point in every painting where I get stuck, don't know where it's going...and running your own business is HARD, but it's all worth it and I do know how lucky I am.
So thanks Tim for agreeing to this exhibition, and like me, creating your paintings in record time.
Thanks everyone for supporting us artists as we bring more beauty into this world.
I hope you can come to our exhibition!

Hi peeps. My name is Christine Allen and I have had tough and horrible experiences in my past relationships and I indeed waited till I met my husband and after we met, we fell in love and got married. After two years of our Union, he changed and started acting weird and eventually left me and our son. I Did all I could to get him back but all was fruitless. I came in contact with the comments and what everyone was saying about Dr Isikolo. I reached out to him and he responded and gave me his best effort and support to make my marriage work again. He was the one who made it known to me that my husband was taken from me by another woman and he cast a love reunion spell that reunited us back together and he came back home to me and my boy. Indeed no one out there has lied about Dr Isikolo and his good works. My husband came back home 48 hours after he did the work for as promised. Reach out to him now and be assured he will help you. You will have to email him now via: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com or text him on WhatsApp him on +2348133261196 or check his page (https://isikolo-temple.com)

I’ve read many stories about people recovering their funds after losing them to scammers and I thought it was another scam, but after losing all my funds to a cryptocurrency investment scam, I had no other choice but to research a recovery platform that can help me with the recovery of my funds. I stumbled upon Bitcoin Recovery Wizard online and contacted them immediately. I was very impressed by their service and how quickly they helped me recover my cryptocurrency funds. Truly their service is top-notch. I’m highly recommending them to everyone who wishes to recover their funds.

I was able to catch my cheating Wife red handed with another Man she has been having a love affair with another man, and this was made possible by Joe, a hacker that I met through a comment posted by Kim on Twitter about his good and professional services. I started getting suspicious of my Wife since she became too possessive of her phone which wasn’t the way she did prior before now. She used to be very carefree when it comes to her phone. but now she’s become obsessed and overtly possessive. I knew something was wrong somewhere which was why I did my search for a professional hacker online and contacted the hacker for help so she could penetrate her phone remotely and grant me access to her phones operating system, she got the job done perfectly without my wife knowing about it although it came quite expensive more than I thought of. I was marveled at the atrocities my wife has been committing. Apparently she is a chronic cheat and never really ended things with her ex.. contact. If anyone is going through same issues, should contact Joe, through.. Email>joehackexpert@gmail.co. He is a professional and register Meta staff and Cyber security consultant anent.
