Hello world!!!! Okay, that's probably not quite realistic----hello United States of America!!!
Okay, maybe that I don't have visitors from every state, but that doesn't mean it can't happen
one day...
The Reception for The Beauty & The Beasts show was great fun & fellowship as promised.
We had about 60 people show up to network, make new friends, see ones (old as in established)
& enjoy some beautiful images. I had affordable small items for sale, too. (Thanks patrons of the
arts.) We had our visitors vote for their favorite beauty and beast images. A pelican won the
most votes for beast, a wave crashing onto a rock won the beauty and a heron catching a fish
received votes for both. So maybe it was a beautiful beast? Hmmmmm.....
Here's a shot from my friend Diane Wingate at front of the Bethel Gallery early in the reception.
The lovely Ponte Vedra Presbyterian Church will host the show through March 14th.
Please come visit if you get the chance. It's located on 210 in Palm Valley and is open
Monday - Friday 9am-4pm because part of the exhibit adorns the area where the church offices are
located. For more info call 904-285-8225.
The cool thing is this church has a regular schedule of art shows--some group and some individual
shows. They also have open painting on Tuesday mornings---just BYO art project to work on. It's
a nice small group of "Dabblers" and PVPC sometimes offers art classes. They also create the City of
Bethlehem in December of each year & it's absolutely fantastic!
PHOTIP: A show & reception is a wonderful way to meet some great new people. It is a lot of work
and quite an investment of time and money. Make sure you have a good marriage before starting
the venture.
Blessings!
