The opening reception for my solo exhibit at the Kitchen Theatre last Friday night went really well. We had theater people as well as art people coming, so there was a steady flow of traffic the whole time. That's really important to an artist because we are otherwise standing around looking silly at our openings. I was happy to have a constant stream of people to talk to about my art.
I always wear a name tag with my name and the word "ARTIST" on it so people know right away who I am. That prevents them from saying something nasty in front of me about the art on the walls. No, really, I wear it so people will feel comfortable coming up and talking to me.
After the reception I went out to eat at one of our great Thai restaurants with my daughter and some friends. At that point I was relaxed and had a great time.
Thanks to all my friends and fellow artists for showing up Friday night!
The photos did not come out that well because the lighting on the paintings created a glare when photographed. But here are a couple of snapshots that will give you a sense of things.
