I admit I am an enthusiastic sports fan. I get emotionally involved in wanting my favorites to win. But my team just got beat in the first round of the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Depressing. Last year, my major league baseball team lost the National League Championship Series and missed the World Series. Frustrating.

Artist Reception for The Seasons of Beauty
There is an unusual feeling that comes over me when I see my work assembled in one room and hung to show the public as it was last Saturday night (August 15) for the reception at the Blowing Rock Frameworks & Gallery. Months of hard work is visually around me, thoughts of how well it will be received wedge their way into my consciousness, and a quick assessment of who might show up crowd their way into my head at once. All that takes place immediately as I walk into the gallery to prepare for guests to arrive at 5 p.m.
