You Are Invited!!!

I am just so very lucky to have my art stir the fancy of famed gallery owner and art connoisseur Jeanne Chisholm! Opening day for my new gallery is Thursday, January 3rd and everyone is invited! The gallery is located in sunny Florida and if anyone who reads my blog happens to be in that area, please do stop in and let me know your impressions! I am so honored and excited to be in the company of a truly stellar group of equestrian artists.The photo above is one of the gallery rooms and below is the invitation to the reception with the accompanying text. This reception is considered the preview and a big grand opening celebration is scheduled for January 15th. I hope, and I have a feeling, that this is going to be a wonderful, artful New Year!

  3. Ma très chère Susan,
    Je suis impressionnée par l'ampleur de la neige que vous avez en ce moment ! alors que chez moi nous bénéficions de douces températures inhabituelles... La planète est folle !
    J'aimerais bien jouer la carte de la folie en allant visiter votre exposition qui s'annonce grandiose. Dommage que vous soyez si loin...
    Si mon voyage pour le Sénégal n'avait pas été arrêté j'aurais volontiers planifié une escapade prolongée en Floride...
    Un hiver prochain, si c'est possible pourquoi pas !
    Je te souhaite un vif succès ainsi que de merveilleuses rencontres...
    Continue de nous enchanter... avec tes peintures fantastiques...

    Une petite pensée pour toi en ce passage très prochain de l'année 2012 à 2013.
    Gros bisous.

  4. Je viens de m'apercevoir que je me suis autorisée de vous tutoyer ! Sachez que ce n'est nullement un manque de respect de ma part, mais celui d'une marque d'attention amicale... Aussi je vais continuer à "te" dire "tu" dans les jours à venir, si tu me le permets bien sûr!...

    Gros bisous

    1. My dear friend, I have only a rudimentary knowledge of French - high school level - but I do remember that there is a difference in the formal and informal use of the word "you". I am honored that you choose the informal use and speak to me as a friend as this is what I feel in my heart toward you! Many thanks for your ongoing support and valuable comments - I cherish them.
