Light and Lines - opening night

On Friday I shared some photos of the pieces that I am exhibiting in Fiona's and my Light and Lines exhibition in Hand Held Gallery in Melbourne. Fiona has shared a few photos of the opening night; but I thought I might just add a few of my own.

As you can see from the photo below Hand Held Gallery is quite small but with good lighting and people can see the works on display even when the gallery is closed.  We did not have a big crowd but it was a quality group of friends, acquaintances and fellow artists who made the opening a success.

Fiona and I had limited ourselves to 10-12 pieces to fit the shelves and wall space available. I think it looked good without being crowded - as Fiona said "it looks like us".

I sold one of the Light Catchers (Wheelie light); and Fiona sold several pieces so that is always good - generous supportive friends.
