It has been a busy fall. It seems like our family has been going going going since before the final push in late September to get my solo show set up at Tapp's. The kids had entries in the State Fair, we've had family in town, my wife and I attended the Gervais Street Bridge Dinner (they used some of my art, which was great), and there has been the usual run of birthday parties, school events, etc. My introvert side is operating in deficit territory.
I'm really proud of my show. It's not everything I imagined it could be, but it's more than I ever thought I'd get to do. Given that art is still a weekend/evening enterprise for me, I feel very fortunate to have the flexibility in my life and the family and friend support necessary to have dreamed it up and pulled it off. My wife deserves a lot of credit for backing me up, especially during the last couple of weeks before the opening. I owe Chris Gillam for helping me move the big stuff (again). And I really appreciate the support of Caitlin Bright and the others at Tapp's: they gave me rope and let me do what I wanted to do.
I'll post a few pictures I took before and on opening night. I thought the turnout was good, and I had a great time talking to those who wanted to talk. It's a really nice feeling to have others come out, look at, and appreciate what you have done.
It's still under construction, but here's a page on my art website that shows most of the pieces in the show. I neglected to take pictures of several of the pieces (including all the big ones) before I moved them -- those will be added soon. I plan to do a video tour of the show at some point before I take it all down.
