'Twas Quite a Week!

A friend asked me "How did the opening go friday night at University Place." My response was "Which One?" I was referring to both the reception, AND the fact that I had locked my keys in the car. That little fact precipitated a small extravaganza including the procurement of a variety of makeshift tools including a hammer, a coat hanger, some cardboard, napkins and broken branches from the street by my new friend Jim from Security at University Place, so that Kathleen and I could engineer the "Opening" of the car! 15 minutes and we were IN, and then, back to the other "Opening". Jim was a saint, and has been wonderfully supportive throughout the installation of my work. Thank you, Jim!

That opening was a delight. It was gentle, playful and thoroughly enjoyable in every respect. We, the artists had a good deal of time to connect with each other. Kathryn had prepared a beautiful review of the show and of the individual artists, and Alison was her usual "Hostess with the Mostest." If you have a chance, go see this show; it is elegant!

The next thing that happened this weekend was that Virginia Fitzgerald and I took down our show at South Shore Art Center in Cohasset. It was a wonderful exhibition in every respect. Yesterday I had the pleasure of working with the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and their troop leaders and some parents in the afternoon and discussing the work in the show. They were great! So smart, curious and enthusiastic!
