Well, we got home last night after several days on the west coast for my show this past weekend at the Just Looking Gallery in San Luis Obispo. And though it was very wet , we had a great time. We saw a lot of great sights, from the heights of Yosemite down to the coastal area around SLO. But it was the friendliness and warmth of the people there that made the biggest impression. We met so many wonderful people. My biggest complaint is that they were there to hear about my work so I did more talking when I would rather be listening, hearing about their lives and stories.
But it was a great trip and we have so many people to thank, from Ralph Gorton and Ken McGavin at the gallery to the many folks who made it to the show, many traveling from quite a distance. It was great to get to know Ralph and Ken better and to hear their entertaining stories. And they do have some great stories. They made Cheri and me feel very welcome. I will relate a few more details in the coming days but for the moment, I am still a little fatigued from the trip and am settling back into the studio routine this morning.
Again, many,many thanks to everyone who crossed our path this past week. It was a real pleasure.
Welcome home! It looks like your work was beautifully displayed – glad it was a good trip.
Wow, the show looks wonderful! Your work looks great against those black and dark purple walls.
Welcome back. Glad you had such a good time.
Congratulations! It feels so great when strangers embrace and welcome the guest artist! I am glad that the show went well, though you have worked hard and earned their praise! Your talent speaks for itself! z
Congratulations, and welcome home. The gallery looks lovely. It sounds like this was a good success all around. Good for you!
Gary,
