Last day of the show today. Thanks to everyone who came and supported us at any point. We're open until 7pm if you still want to buy anything.

It's been pretty freeing to not be really pushing and putting myself in the studio for extra-long hours. Yes friends will tell you that I have been known to do it anyway, but shows always make it far worse.

Anyhow. Christmas shopping awaits. Normally I'd wait until later but since I won't have my studio back until at least Monday and there's no push for anything at all art-wise I'm going to take advantage. Not that I have a clue what to buy most people. Usual plan of walking around some places until inspiration strikes it is.

There might be more food happening too. I'll let people know,

Hey do we still want to try and get away in January? Where? When? Just, you know, thoughts. I want to do it. A break. Avoid London and the cold.

[OOC: if anyone's characters want something I've marked as bought by an NPC let me know, I'm happy to change it. I used a random number generator to decide how many & which sold to NPCs.]

	You've got talent. But forgive me if I never go to a show with any of your darker works. I didn't manage to snag anything I wanted this time around, but I did enjoy much of your lighter works. Keep it up. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you very much for coming out to support the show. ~~I did hear about what happened, I'm so sorry.~~ I have to admit the darker things can be troubling to confront, even for me, as I use that sort of painting as a therapeutic tool. Usually I don't show them, so at other times you'd likely ~~be safe~~ not see them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can see how it can be very therapeutic. Next time I'll just message to make sure I know what corner to avoid. I'm not normally touchy but I'll be more careful. It is good work. Makes me wish I'd had my portrait done after school as had initially been planned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Given what I know about myself and others I know I should have put up a warning. Those pieces are so unlike my other work. Portraits and people in general are my favourite thing to do. People are fascinating. Having your portrait done is always something rather special, it's a pity you missed out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, your other work is quite lovely. It was very disappointing to not get that. Perhaps someday I'll have mine done someday, though it'll never be the same... there's no way I'll ever have that seventeen-year-old girl with stars in her eyes back again. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It was a pretty amazing art show, Dean. I enjoyed it very much and I hope to see more of your work in the future too. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm glad you enjoyed it, Justin. Thanks for coming along. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Yes. I need a holiday. Really. I haven't thought much beyond that. Somewhere magical? I only did muggle Europe on my trip. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Excellent. Me too. ~~Ophelia's not impressed with the idea for some reason.~~ Sure. Not that I have any bright ideas. Europe, but southern half. Warmer than London? (Reply to this) (Parent)
