Julie, Enzie, Alex, David, Cynthia and Patty,

Thanks for the kind sentiments. It would be great if you could all be there. Maybe you could at swing a group deal with Jet (Ultramarine) Blue Airways. Alternately, Patty and Julie you could both drive up from Atlanta. It would probably take less time to drive to Long Island than to get to Binders in rush hour traffic!

The invitation for me to be in this show came about quite serendipitously, so I'm just going with the flow. I rarely participate in shows, just too busy teaching and painting, but it was strangely satisfying to frame these paintings and then see them in a gallery setting.

The artist who organized the whole thing, a sculptor by the name of Dan Brown, said the school is already wanting us back next year. I'm anxious to see what kind of turnout we'll get. Should be fun. If anyone from the forum does stop by, please say hello.
