The exhibition launch was a lovely few days of opening events. Thursday night a good crowd came to enjoy the hospitality of Caloundra Regional Gallery, complete with great local food and beverages and live music. The Mayoress of the Sunshine Coast, Rosanna Natoli did the official honours of opening both my show and local artist Wendy McGrath-Lakeland. Friday morning I gave an informal walk and talk around the exhibition over morning tea and this was a special time to chat with people and engage in the converstions that make everything worthwhile. On Saturday I led a full day Nature Sketchbook workshop with enthustiastic and lovely students.

I am very grateful to director Jo Duke and the team at Caloundra Regional for all the care they took to make this exhibition happen.
