Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy ~ Artwork - Update

Harris Open Exhibition

Okay, I recently revealed that one of my pieces that I submitted at the Harris Open Exhibition this year is connected with a upcoming festivity.

For all interested in celebrating it, one of my artwork pieces is titled 'Winter Solstice'.  This can be viewed in one of the cabinets in the left hand room.

Fact file: St Thomas' Day was originally celebrated on the day of the winter solstice.

artwork update

I recently submitted some artwork into the Open Harris Exhibition in Preston.

See: https://handeldoesit.blogspot.com/2018/12/harris-open-exhibition-2018.html

It is as from today that I can breathe a little sigh of relief as one of my pieces that had been displayed incorrectly is now as it ought to be.  Namely, vertical.

It only took five days to be corrected.  Although, to be fair they did change it to on a diagonal, however that is now upright as I, as the artist, intended it to be.  

Another reason as to why I was particularly concerned is because this particular piece resonates with a festivity.

Without telling you anymore, I urge you to go and see for yourself.

I think as an artist I have the right to be a sort of perfectionist as to how my work is presented.  

I have moved on from paying to display work, though having my work displayed incorrectly is not something I consider worth paying for.

If anyone chooses to consider to purchase it, they could display it however they want.  Until then, it is intended to be upright.

(It doesn't seem to really make a difference as it is, however, it is actually meant to be upright the other way up.)  

As to the reprinted booklet of listings with my name presented correctly, if that comes about, when that happens, then that would be nice.

Artists, hey.  Ever striving for perfection.

Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy ~ Birthday Suit

Birthdays come but once a year. 

Here I am celebrating my birthday this year in 'my birthday suit', a dress I think is so gorgeous it makes me feel like the girl in the golden dress with quality friends.

Thankyou for class conversation John (near) and Damien (far) and  top food, Totto's Restaurant (Preston)

Remembrance Sunday Parade 2018 

Band In The Sunlight

Preston, Lancashire

I feel privileged that following this I got to play with this band of very talented musicians, who incidentally offer their services at events such as these for free - all monies go back in to the running of the band, rehearsals, band practice hall hire etc. I guess.  

I, however, do not have the luxury of working as a musician for free, at the moment, really, so as I am glad of the experience of playing with these guys and gals - as the trumpet is not my first instrument, although I think I gave it a good toot, I wish them lots of good luck and look forward to hearing them play again.
