I was finally able to meet J. Anna Roberts and Bob Bratton - the two other watercolorists in the show - both delightful people. We all got a chance to chat throughout the evening.
At times there were a lot of people through the gallery, at times not so many. Several people took time to really view the paintings and I'm hopeful some of mine will be purchased during the run of the show.
My very best friend and her parents came to support me, and I'm sure more of my friends and acquaintances will see the show while it hangs. It is running concurrently with the Watercolor Society of Indiana show (hanging at the Indianapolis Museum of Art) that opened today. I didn't attend that - two trips to Indy in two days is one too many! So . . .
I'm planning an "art day" to Indy with some friends that will include both shows and lunch at the IMA.
A heartfelt "Thank You" to Rich Anderson (Hoosier Salon Carmel Gallery Director) and Jim May (Hoosier Salon Executive Director) for bringing this evening together. It's a beautiful show - if you like watercolors - and who doesn't!!!
Hop in your car one of these beautiful fall days and drive to Indy to see it - along with the WSI show at the IMA!
Here are a few photos of the opening.

| This gorgeous bouquet was sent to me by my art retreat ladies! Rich referenced my lace paintings and found this lace doily to put under it. Looks like a future painting to me! |

| My friend took my photo by some of my paintings - wearing a beautiful blue beaded bracelet made for me by one of my friends - it complimented my top perfectly! (I've decided I'm living in the wrong age - I shoulda/coulda been a Rubens model!!!) |

| I had to add this photo of my hair - styled for me by my Darling Daughter. I got several compliments throughout the night! |

What a beautiful show in a great venue...and your hair looks gorgeous!
Congratulations.
WOW! Love seeing the paintings - so many!! I may have to talk Jerry into taking a day trip :) And you look fabulous - the hair, the blue (my favorite color, of course). I'm sure it was a wonderful opening and I hope you have many sales.
Thanks ladies!
