Saturday night's opening was a success! There was a great crowd who came. I was surprised at how vibrant my art was on the walls of the gallery. I had a lot of fun, met a lot of wonderful new people, and even enjoyed some sales. What more can an artist ask for? My girlfriends and I went out for sushi before the opening, to celebrate. They stayed with me through the entire opening, which lasted until ten o'clock, and I can't tell you how much it meant to me to have their support. I am so fortunate. Here is a photo of the three of us, in the gallery.
I took some photos of the gallery, before people started to show up. Once guests started to arrive, I forgot to take more photos. At one point, the gallery was so crowded you couldn't really move. It's a small space, but still, it was nice to see it filled up.
Thank you to all of you who came. I am grateful to you, for your support. Most of all, a big thanks goes out to the owner of True World Gallery, for giving me such a wonderful showing of my new art! Thanks, Bonnie! Here she is with her husband, George, and the gentleman who bought the first piece. Yay!!!!

Hi Karine,
My husband and I stopped by on Sunday, March 8, 2009 and saw your show. Loved all your monotypes, they are so beautiful, colorful and yet simple. Bought one of your small lizard cards and the larger monotype lizard -- Would love to see your acrylics and oils at some point.
