On Friday my paintings were all hung on the walls, the brushes and palettes were cleaned and stored and I began to make up the food for refreshments. I gathered flowers from the yard and heard from friends that they would see me later. I was actually going to have a party.
I cut up cucumbers, hollowing out the centers to hold a spicy peanut sauce, and decorated with yellow pepper, roasted sunflower seeds, and garden trims. Love using the violets...any edible flower is a favorite. I was urged on by the first tasters to get this shot.
South wall, yes, I hung the paintings deep, but can't think of the word I need here...alas.
North wall with new painting still sitting on the easel. I call it Seismic Segment.
The sun was streaming in the door. It was a lovely day with most of the snow melted from our yards. Here I am not looking my best...not like I would have pictured myself, alas again. ( When we danced in the All Species Parade on Sunday, Bruce said we were in costume--costumed as elders...that's us!)
The 2 hour time frame passed very quickly, always someone there, greeting friends from different paths and introducing friends to friends. As we picked up and prepared a small group to continue on to the house, I was struck by the glorious sky....glowing. ... a fine ending to the day at the studio.
The paintings are now hung in City Center and I have yet to get my brushes in the paint again.

A beautiful and fun event. Wish I was there.
It all looks great...the walls are glowing...your Seismic Segments is a show stopper! Flowers, food and you...festive in the art way! Bravo!
Thank you Leslie and Mary Ann...I wish you were here too. Feeling relief that it has been accomplished. Now I have to make silks for a fashion show beginning of June...changing hats.
The paintings are beautiful Maggie, what a lovely display. Wish I could have made it in person!
