Saturday was the Artists Reception for our new show, Africa: Two Views.
It was a beautiful afternoon and over 100 guests turned out to view our photographs the
artwork of Walter Crew. The energy level
was very high as the enthusiastic art aficionados went from room to
room admiring the various works. Stylistically, Walter's paintings and
scratchboards and our black and white photographs were 180
degrees apart and yet complemented each other so well that they
represented a logically unified body of work.
Each attendee had to opportunity to vote for their favorite painting and
photograph. Many a person commented that they could not possibly pick
just one image. However , eventually they did manage to select their
favorites. There was a tie for first place among the photographs.
Cathy's "
Lioness" and my "
Reticulated Giraffes" tied for first. Among
the paintings, Walter's "
Maasai Cattle Herder" was judged to be the favorite.
Many thanks to all of the people who helped to make this reception a
great success. Special thanks to
Benjamin Ofori, our African drummer,
for providing entertainment. I would also like to thank Linda Wagner for
her great handling of the food and beverages. And finally thanks to Joe
Eiers for photographing the event.
Stay tuned for more...
