I had a wonderful trip to deliver some paintings to ' The Mackenzie Gallery' yesterday in Teddington.  This gallery sold my first ever painting some 20 years ago now and I will always have a soft spot for it.   The Mackenzie Gallery have a wonderful stable of artists featuring some beautiful works.

I took my daughter with me (3) so it was to be a limited stay in the gallery!  Its sometime since I have been into a gallery what with Carl normally doing the runs in and out of London these days so it was a real pleasure for me to be there myself.

Normally time is of the essence, especially if the gallery is busy - you drop and run (or I do anyway) but I had some new works to show that are in the beginning stages so I asked to show them.  I really enjoyed getting some feedback and left feeling inspired to carry on this new idea and try out lots of new ideas with it.

On the way home we dropped into the heated open air swimming pool (its warm as toast 365 days of the year) to pretend that we were on the Med somewhere.

A snooze on the way home (for wee gal) and a lovely day was had.
