Nothing has changed, and it is with grateful thanks to the many people, both directly and indirectly, who have helped me launch my Art career this year. Without them it would not have been possible to carry on living here in Bulgaria and to be exhibiting widely, on the Black Sea coast resorts of Sozopol, Nessebar and Bourgas. The future looks bright, after a very successful first ever Exhibition in Karnobat. And I now look forward to a trip to the Galleries in Sofia during November and a Winter season at a Gallery in the ski resort of Borovets. I also look forward to recording this beautiful country in it's Winter glory. I would also like to look into securing the services of a reputable Art Agent to represent me and my work in the future both in Europe and in the UK. This may be possible, as would the launch of Limited Edition Prints, if further sponsorship were secured in the future. In the tradition of Artists throughout the ages I would like to record many great and beautiful places such as Bulgaria, Venice, Florence, Provence and Tuscany amongst many others. A fuller season at Sozopol, Nessebar and Bourgas will be my aim for 2010, together with teaching in the Private and Public sectors, news on this to follow. In addition my plans for those dark Winter days are to prepare lots of work for next year, drawing on the many ideas I have collected over the Summer. I will also be developing ideas for my e-book and doing more You Tube tutorials. I may even learn a few more guitar chords and concentrate more on understanding the Bulgarian language.  John Deere Combine Harvester I would also like to give my sincere thanks to the Galleries who have shown support to me during 2009. I hope that you have found your faith in me well founded, and I look forward to a long, happy and mutually beneficial friendship in the future. Thanks should also go to the Suppliers I have had the pleasure to deal with this year.
