Alki Arts reception: so much love in the room
Can I just tell you how much looooove there was at Alki Arts Gallery last night? Maybe it was because there were so many PEOPLE at the opening reception.
I talked myself hoarse about my work with interested visitors, which is a lovely problem to have.

Like most art walks, it's a little more "walk (and see gorgeous work)" than "(buying) art (on the spot)." But My Wall, as I like to call it, will be up for another 23 days. So we'll see if someone comes back to collect a piece they've fallen in love with.
My fellow EDGE program grad Mary Lamery and me.
Special thanks to the following:
- my artist peeps who came out to show support, including Jennifer Chin, Mary Lamery, Mary Freiburger, Esther Ervin, Al Doggett and Earnest Thomas
- my new friends, including O. David Jackson and fellow artists Robin Weiss and Carol Braden
- and the enthusiastic people who've Liked my art Page.
These are the connections that support artists emotionally. And don't forget financial support: Rembrandt doesn't have bills to pay, but living artists like me do!
