11:26 AM:the genesis gallery opening took place two days ago, on thursday march 16 from 7 to 10 pm . it was truly wonderful to see so many old friends, both from athens and andros, and to meet so many wonderful visitors to the exhibitions. i was able to see my paintings through their eyes and receive many insightful comments and observations.
of course i began envisioning my next series of paintings and strategizing where i might show them next. there were no sales at the opening, but yiorgos, the gallery director, explained that his regular collectors are staying away form crowded openings due to covid fears, and will be showing up in the coming days.
this afternoon from noon to 3pm there’s an event at thje gallery & i’ll be giving a short talk about 2pm.
yesterday we visited several athens museums with my cousin mindy & her husband mark. i shot quite a few photos fro use in future paintings. it was a cloudy, rainy day in athens, but we had a very fun day followed by a delicious dinner. hard to beat the athenian appetizers!
