Great work, Barbara. Really interesting. Welcome.

Hi Barbara!
About the Portlaise Council Offices Corridor:
I think it is a tricky exhibition space. It is a fully glazed corrriodor (on both sides to the east and to the west, the roof is solid), it is linking together the old and the new office buildings and the canteen is opening from this also, so it is fairly busy and spacious...
It is tricky because of the lots of glazed surfaces... The light is most probably stronger behind your painting (the natural bright sky) then in the corridor... night time and actually wintertime it could be a better situation when the corridor is lit and outside the sky is not that bright.
I think the space suits contrastful pictures, because of the strange lighting...
and it is ideal for stained glass or translusent or transparent objects...
Where do you live? You could have a look as the corridor is accessible for the public...
Let me know when you have the exhibition opening!
Good Luck!

Autumn in South France is lovely but the Spring is just mind blowing- Get there when there are no tourists from mid February the 'floraison' is just amazing. First Almonds,then peach and nectarine, then apricot and then cherries- takes about 6 weeks. Cherries are formed by the end of April !

Hi Barbara
no I have not seen an exhibition inPortlaoise coco.Sorry I never even heard of it so I am of very little help to you but I will keep my ears open! Una

Hi Barbara,
I am jealous- I'd love to be going to France. The blue colour is a copper spray also used on the vines. A great fungal inhibitor.The ash from burnt vines makes a great ingredient in glazes for reduction fired pottery-stone ware.It produces a lustrous red.- In oxidizing firing - green
Enjoy your trip.
