"Set Sail" SOLD
"Gallery Duck"
Christina Allen and I collaborated again for a two person show at the North End Gallery. The East/West idea came from my move to the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Christina's staying on the Western side of the Chesapeake Bay. I think the show looked pretty good, a lot of work went into getting ready for it. Putting it up actually goes pretty quickly. The opening was fun and we had a good crowd all evening. Jack manned the bar and in keeping with the theme offered guests a Dogfish pale India ale, made in the Eastern Shore or 10 oz Bud Lite cans, a staple of St.Mary's County! Of course wine was available but the Dogfish was appreciated most!
We sold some that night and also throughout the month so we both had a respectable month. I do appreciate seeing the folks who come to see our shows. I got to meet a few collectors and put faces to their names and paintings which was a great pleasure. Several bought again and also some paintings went to new folks. I love it when someone sees a painting (of mine in particular, of course, but of any one's ) and decides it must be theirs!
Part of the pleasure of doing these collaborations is the chance to show many paintings all at once. Christina's watercolors and my oils seem to mesh nicely and it is a joy to see them hanging all together. It was also quite pleasant to put Jack's duck in the show also. As several of his buddies, shooting & woodworking, came to the opening, he was able to show it them and discuss it.

Hi Linda:
Amazing paintings! Your work always leaves me openmouthed with awe and inspiration. I would have loved to attend your show, if not to see you again, to at least try some of that Dogfish pale India ale. Big hug to that duck decoy carving chap you live with! Jayne
