Sab’s INTRODUCTION
Hello Everyone! How are you today?
It’s been a busy week for me. A new exhibition opened in the Marais district in Paris and one of my paintings is in it!
In this picture, you can see me and my painting. The exhibition features 102 artists and we want to raise awareness of road safety.
A lot of children are killed on the roads every year, so please be careful, when you cross the road and when you are driving too!
You can see my latest paintings HERE on my Infinity² website.

IN OTHER NEWS…
My local train drivers were on strike again last week. So I spent a lot of time on the platform waiting for the “one train out of three” that was supposed to be running. It really gets on my nerves.
When they’re not on strike, there is often maintenance work on the line all weekend at the moment. It’s driving me round the bend!
Sometimes I think that going on strike is the French national sport. That, and demonstrating in the street. It’s good to have the right to protest, but when I can’t get to my favourite city Paris, for work or play, it makes me tear my hair out with frustration. Or it would, if I had enough hair to tear out.
And when they aren’t on strike, and there isn’t maintenance work, there’s inevitably a problem with the electricity supply or a suspect package left somewhere or some idiot walking along the railway lines that makes all the trains about three hours late. All these problems really get up my nose.
Apart from that, it’s been a great week!
