It was a very hectic evening!<br /><br />Thanks Maggie, I dearly love my painting process and hope that always shows in my work. And of course it is always nice to see everything hanging in a show. Thanks for commenting.<br /><br />Tracy, didn't mind the drive down and back so much, it was just the awkward standing around by myself when in between conversations. Doug has been perfectly trained to fill in when necessary;)<br /><br />Thanks Anne, I feel strongly about the portraits too, and will keep doing them. They are kind of intense to work on tho, so it's an adjustment for me to work on them off and on.....<br /><br />Thanks Deborah, and the visit was fun, hectic and short, all good things ;)<br /><br />Thank Katherine, yes, I agree, always nice to see work in context and after looking at them ad nauseum in my studio, it's refreshing to see them in the gallery;)<br /><br />Thanks Casey, and Carrie has a beautiful gallery space! Great light, and a very NYC like space, LOVE that gallery:)<br /><br />Ed, wow, thanks so much for letting me know you visited the show and that you were drawn to the portraits. I saw people looking at them at the opening, but am not quite sure what their consensus was;) Hope you enjoyed the whole show, I the other artists had some wonderful work up too.<br /><br />Thanks Sydney, Carrie has always done a wonderful job of hanging my work (and everyone else's too, of course), I am always excited to see what she does with them. And I am always glad I don't have to do that part of the show;)Tracy Helgesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510044613771862211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-46223744227750171482009-08-10T20:41:21.195-04:002009-08-10T20:41:21.195-04:00Congrats on the show!

You must be pleased. I really like your portraits and am fascinated by how they evolve from your photos and then 'pulled out' of the underpainting to the finished piece. If your heart is taking you in that direction you should follow it.<br />MaggieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-43386182481363214532009-08-10T10:49:35.278-04:002009-08-10T10:49:35.278-04:00Well, I certainly would have gone with you if I wo...Well, I certainly would have gone with you if I would've been there! Heck, after all that cleaning and prepping for the family visitors, they ALL should have gone with you!
