the Opening
Wow, the opening at Sarah Beveridge Contemporary Art on Oct 8 was an amazing success. Lost count of how many people came through, saw a lot of old friends and made some new ones. The response to the new work was very favourable and I was surprised to see exactly which pieces attracted which people. Much to my surpise the large concrete sculptures seem to garner much attention, not to say the intaglio monoprints didn't, I think the concrete works are newer to most of my patrons. I am always humbled when someone decides to purchase my work and during the opening, several new customers believed in my work enough to want to live with them, so a special thanks them. As ususal, Sarah did a wonderful job of making everyone feel welcome and she made sure to keep me circulating and get a chance to talk to most. Thanks to everyone who came and made it a great day.
