So I have finished all 10 paintings and they are currently being framed in the brilliant Hang Tough Framers in Portobello. I will be hanging them all up, along with Lucy's two incredible portraits on Wednesday evening in the Ranelagh Arts Centre. So everything will be nicely organised for Thursday! It's all very exciting!

I am currently working on a number of paintings which I hope to sell at an art exhibition to be held in Ranelagh Arts centre on the 9th of February. 100% of the proceeds raised will go to Temple Street.

I want to say a huge thank you to all my friends and family who came to the exhibition, to everyone who bought a painting, to everyone who bought raffle tickets and for all the extremely generous donations. I also want to thank Alf Nicholson for opening the exhibition, Ranelagh Arts Centre for hosting it, Hang Tough Framing for the beautiful frames, and especially to Lucy Moore, Phill Crowe and Tess my baby cousin for their stunning artwork. Lastly, my group of fantastic helpers who I couldn't have done it without and all my aunties for their delicious cheese boards. It was such a fun night for such an amazing cause.

I have completed 7 paintings, so I have 3 more to complete before the exhibition. My friend and fantastic artist Lucy Moore is also very kindly donating a painting. Some of the finished paintings are currently being framed and will be ready to rock soon! The event will begin at 6.30/7 on the 9th of February. There will also be wine and cheese! Really looking forward to the big night!
