Feeling the Welcome Vibe



My New Members exhibition at The McGuffey Art Center is beginning well. Many friends turned out for the opening with plenty of well wishes. We've already been reviewed in the Hook and the C-ville Weekly. The Hook review was especially great in fact, a few people have asked me when I met them for the first time, "I enjoyed seeing your work in the paper"

So that's wonderful. The opening started with the president of our association (Judy McLeod) welcoming me and placing a name tag on my chest; it felt like a medal. The evening ended with a band of clowns invading the exhibit and bringing all the mirth you would expect.

I feel like I fit right in.

The exhibit runs through January 31.

Hello Peter! I enjoyed meeting you at the Studio Art Shop near the Sennelier selection the other day. Such a surprise to mention having enjoyed the oil pastel pieces at McGuffy Art Center only to find out you are the artist! I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Sincerely,
Jessie Wood
