And my son Conor was there for the entire 3 hour sweltering evening, he's talking to Denise' friend Millie.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwA0EYd5Js5sF6pjaAR6_hszkUPXeULmAeFfwhB5TIjFfrRnENfOX3c_qNjIVRfoE1tbYcsoogLrV3S2bC4ewINPChLebaTsZd5Kf3LEgJu2BRbV-pbC8yeA9TGSUHSWNFmeHQzNQ7eTk/s320/Westport+Rivers+2007+and+Briggs+067.jpg)

Then my sister (in pain from a horrible ruptured disk) stoically braved the heat and the lack of chairs to show suport...
My pal Bonnie drove down from Hingham (well, John drove, but you know what I mean!)
Putting on a show like this is a little like organizing a small wedding (except an hour before I was supposed to be there was the first time I thought about what I was wearing that night). There's an incredible about of work, not to mention the fact that I was painting right up until the day before we hung the show! It's very unlike a show at a real Gallery where THEY plan and hang and send out invitations, organize the refreshments, etc. THAT is starting to sound really good to me! But I hope if you see the show you enjoy it. Both Denise and I will be there all day on August 18 and 19, for the Open Studio Tour. I'd love to see you all!
Everything looks great and you look cool as a cucumber!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you both. I hope to make it to the Open Studios.
It looks like you all had a lovely time!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the show – it looks great after all your hard work – I wish you great success with it!
