Jean, thanks so much for your support. As you probably have noticed, the real Nancy Bea will be there as well as her portrait.

I'll let everyone know how the opening goes!

Congratulations, I wish I could be there for the opening!

I just wanted to mention that you might want to consider videotaping your opening. Just have a camera on a tripod running in a corner if you can't find anybody to handhold one. I didn't do this for my show but I wish I had thought of it. It will be a nice record for you to have.

If Garth shows up you will be sure to have lots of alarming, wild vortex photographs.

Meanwhile, I've just read a book called "How to Get Hung" (I'll search for the author) which talks about what to wear at your opening. I'd hate to think that people judge the art by what the artist looks like, but apparently it matters.

Great idea for unveilings too!

Pat, Julie, Linda, Michele and Rui--thanks for your kind words!

Michele and Linda, the videotaping idea is really good. I'll mention it to my husband and son. I think our camera needs a new battery, but other than that it should be easy to set it up.

Linda, I am so glad you mentioned the problem of what to wear! When I read it, I laughed because that's the one thing I usually forget until right before an event. I'm one of those people who likes to be well-dressed, but hates to shop! So someone has actually analyzed how one's style affects sales? Amazing! I'll have to read this book. And I'm going shopping (ugh) early this time.
