Because some people asked & I never got around to posting anything publically:

We didn't have any of our relatives, neighbors, or friends show up, but we still managed to have a really nice crowd. What was esp. nice was that everyone who came was there to SEE the painting not out of friendship as none of them new me (us).
When things started to slow down a bit the lady who is in charge of the Library Art Promotion went to the Art Gallery that was having a major juried event & started to spread the word "Have you been by the Library to see the incredible Irish paintings?" & soon we had a large crowd show up. Time just flew by & we were busy to 'til was quitting time.
Originally this showing was suppose to be for just one evening, but because several people asked the librarian how long the display would be up as they wanted to bring parents, friends, spouses etc. to see the art, the librarian decided at the last minute to keep the display up for a full week instead of the 4 hrs. allotted.
We were very happy not to have to pack everything up that night esp. as I still had to go home & fix supper. In all we displayed 31 paintings/drawings & 1 sculpture. "Celtic Crosses" &
"The Gathering" were painted after the display.

Many people were fascinated learning about the wild orchid that grow in the seemingly empty lunar landscape of the Burren. I could have sold many art cards that night, had i been better prepared.
The painting "Ballydwane Point", "Roseleen's Camellias" were a big hit as was the "Rose Colored Cottages" which truly surprised me.

Would like to thank my foster daughter Mary for the Irish tea & shortbread we served at the showing. Unfortunately, she had to go back to Ireland a few days before the show but it was great seeing her again. She kindly restocked our dwindling supply of Irish goodies.



Note: This was a showing, not a sale. The painting were only on display.
