Good Morning UAE

Newlyweds Meggy Bean & James!  Love them.
 
I'm here in Dubai. Used up the mileage to go in business... couldn't face being at the back of the bus for 16.5 hours. Sleep times and movies (some classics: speed & lost in translation.)
So happy my newly married bestest friends Meggy & James are here - they met me at the airport with a run and hugs! Then straight to my Dad's house. Lucky indeed to be living on The Palm. Nobody home so have a free house for a week.

Exhibition time before Meggy sets off to Oz for 3 weeks. Been at the DIFC a lot these last few weeks and al Quoz. Seen some awesome work - I loved one in particular, which was paintings of forests with moving projections of rabbits and snow over the top. AMAZING!


Working on some new projects myself. Photography exhibition time. I'm thinking mixed media - canvas photos with work on top.... hmm. I'll upload some pics as I go along. I'm playing with fabric and sand. I've narrowed down to 18... Must find a good printers here too.  

 Below just show some shots I captured out and about...







On a side note - since I got here I've been addicted to Hip Hop Abs!  The funniest thing I've seen on an infomercial when I was in The States.  It's a set of work out videos with an awesome, over the top gay guy jumping around cheering 'He-ey... Giiirl you better work.  IT.  '  Anyway, I love it and it's actually addictive.  I'm holding out for some promised abs - I'll keep you informed.  (My 'before' photos shall remain on a secret folder on my laptop until I have thus abs.)
