Day Two / Open Studios ARTTOUR —
I was astonished to learn how much I looked forward with high anticipation to opening our doorway to the public this morning. I have considered myself a person who prefers privacy over public exposure, but completing our gallery space is apparently calling those self-perceptions into question. It was an extraordinary two days of interacting with a diverse group of art tourists. I am already looking ahead to the next opportunity — this Friday we shall welcome more people to our realm as a Gallery Hop Stop in downtown Danville. A peculiar aspect of disclosing the results of one’s collage-making process is to gauge the response of someone not quite prepared for the experience. To do that in one’s own environment is especially indulgent. To offer hospitality to someone else who really “gets it” brings immeasurable satisfaction.
All Merry, All Happy and Bright
