Everything went GREAT last night for the opening at True Art Gallery. The owners, Joanie and Jim, did an incredible job hanging the work, in fact, when I walked in the gallery I was so excited at how the artwork looked that I wasn't watching where I was going and tripped, almost falling on my face, talk about making an entrance (thank God it was before the show opened so the embarassment was kept to a minimum). The evening was phenomenal. There was a nice size crowd, good food and I sold three paintings!!!!
One of the paintings that sold was a piece that consists of 5 small 5"x7" canvases. I usually don't work small, but this summer I found these canvases for $1.oo a piece, I figured I would play around with them in the studio and see what happens. I ended up with 3 pieces for the show. I dropped off all my work on Tuesday and explained how I would like small canvases displayed, well Jim had taken the paintings and put them on a beautiful wood backing, you can see one of them hanging on the back wall in the photo. I was thrilled with how nice they looked.
Mary's work was wonderful. I love the new new direction she is going in with her latest pieces, I can't wait to see more. We had such a good night, Ahhhh all that work and anxiety really paid off.

Shari, congratulations. Sounds like you had fun and it was worth the effort. The two photos of the gallery look good. (I am quite taken with the color of the walls. On my monitor it is a lovely gray with a bit of lavender.) I love the strength of your work. Your colors are beautiful. I like Inclination part 1, in an earlier posting, very very much. Very nice blog.
Thanks so much gramercy, your words are very kind and encouraging. I'm glad that you like Inclination part 1, it was one piece that just flowed, in fact, it was one of the paintings that sold. The color of the gallery walls are just as you see them, and quite beautiful. The color sets off the artwork nicely, its a nice change from stark white.
