Oh what a night!

Richard Charpentier Notes from Rich Leave a Comment

doncheek-1-of-1Last night’s Artwalk could have been a disaster.  All day I worried that things would not go well.  It isn’t that we weren’t prepared, the gallery looked great, David’s new works were fantastic…….but there was a cloud looming.  Literally, a real cloud.  You know, with rain inside it?  Yeah, it rained a lot yesterday.

At 5:00 p.m. we were still getting drizzle and bursts of heavier rain.  Who the heck would want to be out in the rain walking around?  Not me.  Well, if I had my trusty umbrella it would be cool.  But I think you get the idea.

As the evening progressed the rain tapered off.  Our musician for the night, Don Cheek, set up outside in a dry spot and he remained dry for the night.  Great job Don!  We all enjoyed your playing!

With the rain withdrawing we actually did get quite a crowd.  At times it was standing room only in the gallery once again.  That’s hard to do, sizable space and all, but we’ve packed them in several times.  I always feel a touch claustrophobic when it gets that crowded.  But it’s managable!

The night went well.  David’s new pieces were well received and I hope he enjoyed himself.

There’s the quick wrap.  I’ve included many photos for those unable to attend……
