Our art show opening was a resounding success. We had a good crowd and I, much to my amazement, sold four pieces! I was happy just to see them all hanging in one place. The picture above is when we were making our introductory speeches. It's a bit blurry because I forgot to turn the flash on and there wasn't much light in there.
We were so pleased that all of our grandchildren who live near us attended. Not all teenagers would take time from their busy social whirl to go to an art opening! Here is Grandpa entertaining them with some kind of story.
It must have been a funny one! The hanging behind them with the circles was one of the ones that sold.
Here's a picture of some of the crowd.
We are off to New York City tomorrow. I guess my shopping spree will be a little more fun after last night! Garment district, here I come! I will be taking along my laptop but posting might be a bit scarce for the next week or so.

Oh joy!!! Congratulations! I hope this will be just a first for you and Marcel to be able to show and share your art in your community. They need to learn about you artists!!!
I'm so glad you snapped some photos. Love the pics of your grands and their grandpa. My only regret of my holiday last weekend was not getting a photo of the two of you together. Next time....
