GALLERY REOPENING

Nërp has now vacated his workshop – wearing an inscrutable expression – and Byron has resumed work inside. 

 

Wilson is proceeding on the assumption that he will be permitted to reopen the Vermilingua Contemporary Gallery on 4 July.

 

I don't think that date has been mentioned by the government yet, but all the news media are pretty confident of an imminent announcement.

 

While Byron paints for all he's worth, Wilson is preparing the gallery to reopen under the new Social Distancing Rules: Paw Sanitising Gel, one-way system and, most onerous of all, only one visitor in the gallery at a time!

 

W fears takings may be seriously affected. ☹️

 

The Gallery Reopening has put even more pressure on Byron to have enough paintings ready for his Retrospective Exhibition.

 

I thought artists usually mounted retrospectives towards the end of a long and successful career, but young Byron has only been painting for a couple of weeks so he's really working against the clock!
