Close One Exhibit, Open Another


View of my part of the hallway at Artomatic@Frederick, on exhibit Sep.  4-Oct.5
It was takedown day for "Serendipity," my solo show that's enjoyed a very successful two-month run at the library. We were packing it up this morning. Actually, husband Randy might object to the use of the pronoun "we."  As expected, my purchaser who arrived the day "Serendipity" opened to purchase two of the paintings, came right after we got there to pick them up and take them home.  Unexpectedly, but happily, she added one more purchase ... the still life "Fruit Tropics" with coconuts and hydrangeas to bring her load back home to three paintings. One of the paintings from her first round of purchases -- "Horsepower" is to be a gift for her husband to be presented during a party they are giving tonight. To speed this post up (it's getting late), I won't tell you yet the story she attached to that painting. (It's great, though!)

Then it was a quick lunch, unload of the "Serendipity" paintings and time to pack up work to take to Frederick, MD to install my area of the hallway on floor 3 of 117 Church Street for Artomatic@Frederick that opens this coming Wednesday.

It's up.

Phew.
