Photos from Gallery Saratoga Art Reception

Hi folks

I thought I'd post photos from the art reception I hosted last Saturday in Gallery Saratoga for my art show. It was a nice reception. Several friends and family came to look at my work and I made a few sales of my cartoons and paintings. Most of my work that I posted were cartoons that I did for St. Thomas Episcopal Church and the Tri-City Voice. I started doing a series of paintings of heroes of mine, but I didn't get very far. I managed to finish paintings of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Dorothy Day, and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. (which a member of my church purchased). I also did a cartoon version of Howard Zinn and Mark Fidrych (a childhood baseball hero).

The photos include pictures of my art on the wall. My wife and I both had a great time. My brother and sister attended, and I got to spend some time with my new niece Malaya. She was scared of strangers though, and since I haven't really spent much time with her, she kept crying whenever I came near her.

I've been in Gallery Saratoga now for 2 years and it's been a wonderful experience. Gallery Saratoga is a co-op gallery of 25 artists who do wonderful work in painting, photography, jewelry, silk, woodcarving, gourds, and ceramics.
