"Exaggerations" Art Show

First of all, I want to thank everyone who helped me through out the whole semester while I was completing my paintings! Also to everyone who helped out with refreshments for my show and everyone who came to the show. I got a lot of great feedback, and great critique on my weak parts.....thank you, thank you, thank you.

Me before the show!


Friday April 24th, was my show. It went really well, better than I expected! A good crowd came to view the show, talked to me, and ate refreshments (there was a lot!). I really enjoyed speaking with everyone. My family was there and Mum gave me a rose with a card that said "Our Favorite Artist"....I loved it!!!! My friends as well were there and it was so good to have friends and family there to talk to between talking to those who I had just met.
Look at those refreshments!!! Two thumbs up!
Brenda (Mum), Steven, Me, and Tiffany....Dwayne had to run back to his job.
Me, Auntie Buttons (Elaine), and cousin Jordan...his painting is on the left side of the photo, our right side behind us in the photo.
I am so happy that my dear friend Pilar Crooks got to view my very first art show. She lives in Reno now so we try to meet up for coffee or lunch or something every few weeks or so.

After the show, we headed to Jerry's for coffee and caught up on life and laughed and giggled and talked about whats ahead in our lives. Such a great evening! Then the fun continued, my best friend Brandi took me out to dinner to celebrate. We ate at La Fiesta, then headed over to the local coffee shop Jive N Java for coffee, friends, and some chillin' tunes!
