new website

Oh dear!
What to do in this cyber age!
I have made a new website...
For my paintings...
And stopped adding to this blog...
Also...
I have a few exhibitions coming up...
Seems futile having exhibitions...
If the images are on a website...
Consequently...
I have not been adding the latest paintings...
If they are going in the exhibitions...
Is this a good plan of action?
Or no??
Should I keep putting them on the website?
Or no?
What do you think?

"Hello Claire,
The two weeks exhibition has reached an end.
We have about 170-200 visitors during the working day and about 400-600 people on the weekend....
And like I have mentioned before Mr. Xiu has arranged another exhibition of yours in a gallery in Huangdao. ...
Best wishes,
Rachel."
