The beautiful lobby of the Memphis Botanic Gardens.
Our water aerobics class ladies came to support us!
No class tonight!

Art grouping with a "bird" theme by me and Judy - the two in the middle are Judy's and the two on the sides are mine. We had fun arranging the art on the walls at such a beautiful place!

I wanted to post about the art show that opened last week at the Memphis Botanic Gardens. I hope this is not photo overload, but I wanted some of my artist friends across the country to share in our excitement since they could not be here in person! It was a great opening and there were sales (yay!) and most of all, lots of wonderful friends and family who came out to support Judy and me. We had over 100 people at the opening, which was so fun for us! As most of the artists out there know, it is a lot of work to organize and market and hang a show like this, but it is so fun in the end to see your work hanging all nice and framed at a beautiful location like we have here. The show will remain up for the rest of September, so if you are in the area, drop by and see it!
I am THRILLED to get to view your beautiful work in the show setting! It looks SO great! Wish that I were in driving distance. Oh, they should FLY off the walls. Best of luck!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your show! It is a beautiful venue for such great art. Looks like they had good lighting, too. That's always a plus!
ReplyDeleteI tend to work small, so I took special note of your framing choices for your smaller pieces as I thought they were very effective. Thanks for the inspiration!
