Arts Alive reception, coming up tonight
One reception down, one more to go. My toes are still numb from the pretty shoes I wore last night and my jaw aches from all the smiling, but it was a nice evening. Lots of people showed up. There was good wine, and caterers walked around and served little canapes from fancy trays.
People said nice things about my paintings. They said my work is getting better all the time. They said the paintings were alive and energetic and colorful. A friend of mine brought her children and forced them to take their time looking at each painting. “Why do you think the color reads so well in this one?” she asked her daughter. “Why do you think this composition is so successful?” she asked her son.
Several people told me they owned one or more of my paintings. One woman said she bought one of my small seascapes and hung it in her bedroom, so it’s always the first thing she sees when she wakes up every morning. “It makes me start the day happy,” she said. I had to blink away tears.
