For Always and Ever Opening Night!

It was such a blast! So so so many people came and everyone was laughing, smiling, enjoying themselves. It was awesome! You know, there were so many people, it kind of scared the gallery's cat away. That was how packed it was. Best part of all, they were mostly strangers! All the previous shows I had, people who came were usually friends, just a few strangers. But for this show, not many of our friends came. Instead they were mostly strangers, which was a good thing cause we made new friends! People were spilling out into the garden, on the streets, on the stairs, etc. And because our art was really quite affordable, there were a few interested buyers too! So that was great. To see strangers smiling and pondering over which pieces they liked and might buy, that really warms my heart.

You know, a sweet man named Joseph drove all the way down specially just for opening night. He lives high right up in Mt Dandenong, all the way up in the mountains. He was really just a stranger whom we met on our not-so-long-ago day trip. We stumbled upon his fairytale-like bed and breakfast cottage house and he invited us in, showed us his place and even played the piano for us. He was nice so I thought I'd send him an invite by snail mail since he mentioned he likes looking at art. I thought nah, he probably would have forgotten me...

But he came!

I was so touched, it was so sweet of him. The next time we head up to the mountains, we'll be meeting for tea and perhaps some chinese food : )

Anyway, if you're interested in looking at more photos, you can check them out either on my flickr or on facebook! The show will be up till next Friday 6th November. So if you're free and would love to look at the pieces in real life, do drop by! If you're interested in purchasing any of the works, do phone Off the Kerb gallery during their opening hours ( Thurs - Sun 12.30-5pm ) or if you're from interstate, do email me and I'll be more than happy to send you photos, etc.

Cheers!

( PS: Oh and you know, some wacko actually vandalized the front window of the gallery. He wrote'MUST SEE!' in bright pink! It was super mean but funny at the same time. Whoever did that, thank you for your public opinion, our art must have made you really happy, but please don't do such a thing, it's not good at all! Hah )
