The Show: 29
THE PAINTINGS COMPLETED
Finally the paintings were completed, delivered and photographed. The catalogue was at the printers and for a few days I was able to relax in Johannesburg. I visited Jackie and we talked for hours. What made it all the more enjoyable was that several days before the show opened Mark Read told me that he had already sold all of the paintings. What a relief! I would be able to attend the show opening night without any of the anxiety that comes with shows.
