Zita Cousens had mounted such a beautiful exhibit that each work was appreciated by all. People liked the more animated approach to the oil landscapes and were equally taken with the watercolors of locals enjoying summer life on Martha's Vineyard. Conversations were brisk and lively among new and old acquaintances, some seeing one another for the first time this season.
I managed to see friends only seen here this time of year. Just walking in the door I was met with a robust greeting from Roger and Myrna, sitting alongside of Nadia. Two people in our hearts are Preston and Connie, who we have missed seeing for several seasons, brought much joy. Many friends had the pleasure of seeing Lailah Hathaway perform the same evening and made their way to the gallery afterward. Among the supporters were Charles and Reesa, in lovely summer attire, Dennis and Nancy, our gracious hosts from Sarasota, Willie and Lateria, Karl and Kirk, Jean and her sister Agnes, my WWD colleagues from years ago, Ed and Claudia, Wesley and Judy, our friend Regina was there with great art promoter Valerie, the vivacious Audrey and astounding Gail, alongside Pamela and her sister Charlayne, in from Amsterdam. It was a pleasure to see Hassan, Linda and Christine, being among the earliest supporters of my work on MV.
I could go on highlighting the many supporters that brought well wishes and love last night, however suffice it to say, that everyone had a great time, the work was admired and many took something home to add to their lives.
