| How does it look? |
Although I've participated in quite a few group art shows, last week
was the first time I was the featured painter. Sixteen of my most recent pastels will be on exhibit at Tate Condominiums in Eugene through the end of August. I'm sharing the limelight with
sculptor Debbe Cornitius whose stone and metal sculptures are remarkably compatible with my work. Because the show is in a private residence it was open to the public only during the reception last week. The exhibit looks great, the reception was well-attended, and lots of friends from our 35 years in Eugene showed up to lend support and share my happiness. Four paintings
sold at the reception and another one sold a few days later! I want to
give special recognition to my husband, Alan, who does all my matting
and framing. As one of the guests who has worked in galleries said, "The
presentation is a big part of the impact and Alan's work very nicely
done."

Hearty congratulations. You had a fabulous response!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Casey! As you know, that particular weekend was a whirlwind of excitement that included my participation on your weekend workshop the day after the reception. In it I gained so many new ideas for future paintings. Thank you for being such a great mentor to me.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Sarah (and Alan too!)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Celeste! I'm sure you'll agree that having a supportive, encouraging, helpful partner makes a big difference. (Give Dave a big hug from me!)
DeleteWonderful Sarah! Congratulations on your show!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to another one in the future!
DeleteWell done Sarah, when we met you were in beginning mode, now look at you!
ReplyDeleteRandall, you are a tremendous support to me as I move along in these beginning phases of my art journey. I recall that we originally "met" when I started following your blog, and after I realized we lived in adjacent communities you offered to help me set up my own blog. Thank you for everything! Here's to future adventures!
