Thanks to everyone who came out and made this a great evening--even the weather was perfect. My brother Bob and my sister-in-law Mary (former owners of a gallery in Pasadena) brought a bit of California to SOVA--a great combination. Yall should have been here.

Hallie- These are phenomenal photos! Carolyn did a great job with the flower arrangements and it looks like everyone had a fabulous time. You look lovely in your colorful outfit. Your brother and sister-in-law look like such nice, caring folks.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have been there to see all of your beautiful art and Terry's sculptures-- and hang out with everyone.
It looks like you had a great show and a great time! Wish I could have been there--blogging gives us the vicarious thrill of sharing your opening with you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam. My colorful outfit--it was 80+ degrees when I got dressed so I had to ditch my usual black. Well, I kept the lower half--black linen slacks w/pockets. I think I surprised people by wearing a color other than denim or black. You would have enjoyed it. Several people brought cameras and emailed or dropped off photos.
ReplyDeleteHi Indogomar. You're right, I enjoy reading about openings and seeing photos, too. You've had some great ones.
great looking reception...(and you looked nice too) I wish I could have been there. Your art looks great in that good looking space...congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHi Hallie, Fun! I like seeing the photos, y'all look like you're having a great time..or, as we say it "way too much fun!" Plus, the show looks great!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Hallie, on a great show. The work looks great, the crowd looks into the work, and you have a great smile on your face. That is the perfect recipe for a perfect night. I wish I could have been there to enjoy it with you - and throw back a couple shots...

ReplyDeleteCELESTE, PEGGY, DON & KATHY. Thank you. I think of you as friends; I wish you could have been here. I've learned from you.
ReplyDeleteHi Hallie
ReplyDeleteI left you a Geauga message over at Indigomar's.
How terrific to see your work in the gallery setting where it shines like a star.
Congratulations and hugs to you on your accomplishment.

Donna Iona (formerly Merci33)-thank you. You've been missed and I've been following you from blog address to blog address. I know you've been busy. Geauga = racoon.
ReplyDeleteyour reception looks like it was lots of fun, your friends look fun, your art is fun and exciting, and I wish I could have shared with you. Glad you took photos.
ReplyDeleteHi Robin. You were in Paradise City for your show; I was in Chase City. I look forward to seeing more photos from your weekend; I know people loved your encaustics.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are awesome! I know the event is a success! Congratulations! :)
ReplyDelete"And a great time was had by all". I would have loved to have been there, the show and you look great!
ReplyDeleteHallie, what a great show. The gallery space is wonderful. Like Pam, I love your colorful outfit! The photos are terrific. Wish I could visit in person.
ReplyDeleteLANCELONIE, EVA, and MARY--thank you, thank you, thank you. (Comfort is always No. 1 when I get dressed.) I think everyone did enjoy the reception.
ReplyDeleteHi, I saw your comment on Kathy Cartwright's blog. Coincidentally, I'm having a show at ARTSPACE in Richmond, VA., opening on Oct.22. If you're anywhere close, I'd love for you to come. I'll be checking your blog often for news about the arts in Virginia!
ReplyDeleteHi Sharmon. Congratulations on the show. I live about 100 miles west of Richmond; 70 miles north of Raleigh. I live smack-dab in the middle of beautiful hunting/fishing/farming country so I won't have a lot of news about the arts in Virginia. We are trying, though--we have quite a few artists in this area. If I'm in Richmond (and it's been many years since I've visited) I'll look for Artspace. I will mention it to my friends who live there. (I'm pretty much a stay-at-home-&-work-in-the-studio person.) I hope it's a great show.
ReplyDeleteWowee! And there's my favorite - binocular woman! Glad it was a success, although I don't see how it could be anything else with such wonderful artworks on display!
ReplyDeleteThank you, MM. I can imagine you as binocular woman--you're keeping watch on the other side of the world.
