June 1 was my solo exhibit opening! We had such a nice gathering of art fans. I gave a talk as an introduction to the show and received many interested questions. I am so grateful to Bill Rusling, Liz Trostli, and Randy Havens for working all Thursday afternoon with me to hang the show. It looks splendid. The Arts Advocates Gallery has a beautiful exhibit space and lighting to show off the works. Along with many 8″ x 10″ and 13″ x 19″ prints on beautiful paper, I was also able to have two 24″ x 36″ images made, one on framed canvas and the other on aluminum. Both turned out really well.
I also want to express gratitude to my friend Pat LaRussa, who typed up the labels for each print–49 of them in total. Pat and my sister-in-law, Shelly, helped Randy and me set up the refreshments.
This Saturday, June 8, I will give a presentation on my photography for Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, show examples and demonstrate the techniques I use for capturing closeups. The gallery is open from 2 to 4 PM and my talk will begin about 2:30 PM. I hope to see you there! Here are three images from the show that I made at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.
