Chicago, Part I

I guess I'm overdue for a blog post! It has been pretty crazy between moving and getting my paintings to Chicago, but I will try and bring everyone up to date. These pictures are from the "Representing Reality 08" show. The opening was June 6th, and
it went extremely well. The first photo shows the Lakeside Legacy Arts Park (also known as the Dole Mansion) from the outside. It is still being restored, but the work they have done so far is pretty incredible. The gallery we showed in is called the Sage Gallery. The next two photos show the gallery before the opening, and as people started to come in. The last photo is one my husband took of me (the two bridge paintings are mine, and the street scene is by Lori Kiergaard). I was happy that I found an "art lady" dress to wear! I will have more photos from the week in Chicago coming soon. My husband and I just got back to Texas; we took the train up and back and that was so much fun!
