How exciting...my first gallery opening and here to share it with me are two of my neighbors!! Russ has some beautiful pieces in the show as well. He does incredible wood work!!! Clara is my Monday morning walking partner! We had great fun last night, and I learned some very interesting things. A photograher took my card and said he would look at my site and see if he could give me hints on how to improve the photography of my pieces. I have had several (2) people tell me that my art work looks very different (more impressive) in person so..need to fix that!! I would like the photos on this web site to truly reflect my work. Two of my fellow artists want some guidance on building their web sites..we have taken the same classes from Gayle so I'm thinking I might be able to help a little. I was really drawn to the long horizontal pieces and have asked John to build me some wooden boxes in that shape...so a new look for next year is in the works!! Seeing really great work really inspires!!
OH!! Did I mention the savory cheesecake!! WOW!! now the lady that baked those is an artist as well! Gayle did an absolutely wonderful job of hanging all the work and putting this show together. Be sure to drop in if you just happen to be in Stanwood. I am still trying to work out which piece I would buy if...cost were no object and I actually had a place to hang it!! That's always a fun exercise at these events.
