Laura Tetrault

So, tonight was the big night, my gallery opening. I met one of the other two artists exhibiting in the space. Her name was Veronique Le Merre from Sammamish via San Fransico and Paris, France. Her oil paintings were whimsical and familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time. I was intriqued by the red shoe that re-appeared in a couple of her works. In one it look like it was flung off just outside of a picnic blanket. I thought it looked like there may be two lovers sharing the abandoned picnic just outside of the frame of the canvas. Perhaps hiding in a willow tree in a passionate embrace. Sonja Overstreet was also exhibiting her photographs in the show but we were both surrounded by friends and family so I never got the chance to introduce myself.  I am now sitting on the couch basking in the afterglow... which could also be the glow from Steve's laptop.  Even though my paintings were hung in the hall way I was so happy and proud to see my work up on the wall. AND everyone ended up hanging around in the hall anyways. Lots of my friends and Northwest family came out to see the show. It meant so much to me that everyone came out to wish me luck and support my work. WOW - thanks to all you guys who came out - you guys are great!

I can't help thinking that I am making good steps towards a real art career. I have earned the title of artist and it feels good to know that I can do it. I am tired but happy and I will keep you posted on my latest adventures.

Here's to Late nights with Letterman and Perrier!
