Creatives Types: Starr

 If you think I swan around 24/7 @ social functions - well, you
would be wrong. I have still been fully-ensconced at the chalkface.
Kitchen-skilling, among other things.
But, I did get to Starr's lovely Show.
It was basically what you call a 'sell-out'.
 Starr made a lovely speech.  
She thanked us all for 'allowing her to paint for another year'.
What a wonderful way to show gratitude.
I liked that. Frankly, I had never really thought of in that context.

 She's now pretty much a stalwart in the industry and if you put
your money where your heart was a number of years back and bought a painting, you
no doubt would have now quadrupled your dosh.
Bit more reliable than the Melbourne Cup.
 The Eiffel tower gets a work-out at most Shows and I am not sorry to see it.
 Starr dressed in what I could only call the ultimate frock for her.
The three Rs: ruffles, ruching, roses, technicolour beading, mullet-hemline and paint-splattered look satin.
 Here's a little preview of the 60 works.
It's fair enough to say she has been busy.


 She gave us all firm instructions to take a 'selfie' in front of her Alice in Wonderland inspired painting.
I did so, just before the rabbit-hole got me.





What are you looking forward to?
Any artistic endeavours

    1. Draw, Cilla, just get a little a4 visual diary. Once I was in Paris and I was on the train, there was this guy who had a book full of shaky biro drawings that he did kind of as the train was moving. I was mesmerised. Xxx

  2. This post made me smile. Dreams of my own artistic endeavours after a particularly trying 48 hour run at the coalface. Only 10 hours to go...
