Thanks to everyone who turned out for the opening in Orinda last night. Not a bad start for a new gallery with a few sales and a room full of art lovers. Here are a few pictures Michael took of the crowd. What would I do without my faithful photo snapping husband?
This is a shot that Scott McCue took of the Bird Ballet installation. I made a giant red one since then and it is my new favorite!
As it got dark outside the gallery began to fill up.
I enjoy explaining the process of how I create the birds.
These two folks are constant companions. Scott McDonald rides huge hills with me twice a week at 6am and Carol Aust is one of my closest friends who also happens to be an amazing painter.
Gail seems to be enjoying the wall pieces. I found that people were pretty surprised that I also paint.
Scott McCue did a really nice job on the studio shot of me. He chose to hang this photo of me working on the birds right above the installation of the flock.
Fortunately, a few of the birds where set free and flew to new homes.
Sam has a great smile besides being a great orator.
By the end of the evening I finally had a chance to talk to Margaret Keelan and Annie Stryke. They will be showing next month in the gallery, so stop on by on December 10, 6-8pm to see some renowned bay area ceramic work.
