"Just Desserts: Judith with the Head of Holofernes" received an honorable mention at the Main Line Art Center's "There's Always Room For Dessert" show which opened Feb 5th. The guest juror was Patrick Gauthron, former first pastry chef for Le Bec Fin, and owner of Aux Petite Delices in Wayne. MLAC Executive Director, Judy Herman was a gracious host and made me and Susan Biebuyck, both of us "out-of-town" artists, feel very welcome. Sue got third place for her "Dozen Donuts with Jelly Smear"."Judith" made the front page of the Main Line Times' "People" section managing to edge her way into two picks on the page. I was tragically captured on film as well, wearing an unfortunate striped ensemble. You'd think, being an artist, I would have known better. Then again, I didn't expect to make the paper.
Let that be a lesson to me.
Always be prepared to make the front page. (Just in case.)
Yesterday, I attended the opening of the Daylesford Abbey's 39th Annual Art Show which was, as usual, a lovely event. The committee does a fantastic job organizing and hanging this large show, and the Abbey provides a great backdrop for a wide range of styles and mediums.
This afternoon, I headed into Philly for the Artists' Reception at the 3rd Street Gallery show. It was mobbed. I don't know why I expected otherwise. Nestled on 2nd Street in the Old City section near the Arden theatre, the 3rd Street Gallery is part of the thriving art community in downtown Philadelphia. The artwork was varied in both style and skill level but, for an open show, remarkably high quality. There were so many people it was a challenge to navigate through the gallery and view the work. But that's how it should be - dozens of people clambering to get a look at new art.
