Opening Reception

Saturday night was the opening reception for Maui Open Studios. What a fantastic night it was. Over 700 people showed up to view the 57 participating artists at the event. Each artist had a small 5x5 space to set up a display of their work. Charlie and I took advantage of being set up next to each other which expanded our space to 10x5. We both had a great deal of interest for our work. Charlie's island landscape photography was well received. My "Sugar Cane Train" oil painting got a lot of attention as did the miniature paintings I had on display (two of which are in the photo).

Some of the people interested in our work didn't want to wait for our weekend ( Feb 22 & 23) to see our studios, so we invited them to come any time that was convenient for them. Which means I better start cleaning my studio today.
