Back down to Stuart, Florida Friday night for the opening reception at the
Elliott Museum. Featuring the paintings of six artists from the "Out of Hand Artists" salon, I think it was a strong and diverse collection of artwork.
Two equine artists were selected including my good friend Moe Hahn who paints in the genre of driving, dressage, polo, eventing and hunter/jumping.
It was a decent crowd. My job is to meet guests, explain my paintings and help make the experience enjoyable for the patrons. This particular reception was limited to members of the museum.
LaVaine Wrigley and Marlee Matheson (pictured above with
moi) were largely responsible for hanging the exhibit. I was thrilled with the excellent job Marlee did hanging my eighteen panel piece, "Mile and a Sixteenth (and change)".
Everyone was intrigued with the piece. I submitted three large, edgy works that were well received. Approaching onlookers and providing an explanation resulted in interesting dialog.
This way cool explanation of our salon was printed on a panel at the entrance to the gallery. The entire exhibit was beautifully presented and the reception was elegant. Many thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make it all possible!

I started hating horse racing and betting once I lost so much money on it and wanted all to shut down.
However, recently one of my friends recommended a Bot which he used:

Sharon- this is, as you said, a very elegant display. You can feel the pounding of hooves on those walls.
I particularly liked your " Paintings, Squared-" shown as they were.
And your Out of Hand Artists signage has just the right amount of healthy aesthetic attitude to let people know what they were seeing.
Painting is only part of the package. There's this aspect of getting the work out and making it public. You can sure feel good about all the venues you've been in the past few months.
You've been busy!
Congratulations on another show.
Thanks Bonnie. I've been blessed to finally realize the fruits of many years of "dogged perseverance". Some of us are too thick-headed to ever take no for an answer. Not that there haven't been times that I wanted to pack my paint box away for good. I guess that's the positive side of being obsessively driven!
