It is beautiful! I am so glad you did this change to monotypes! I love all of them. The wall with the interspersed leaves is wonderful and should be kept together because it is so beautiful my breath catches. Your name in big letters I like, too! My congratulations to you for taking a chance on trying something new and the courage to exhibit the beauty of what you accomplished. I really am breathless. So happy for you and thinking of you and your triumph! Brava! And my best always!

It was fun to talk to Cassandra (one of the gallery people) as she described the painstaking process of laying out the monotypes on the floor and moving them around until they liked the arrangement THEN having to get them lined up in place so they lined up properly on the wall. It is a real skill to acquire as a gallerist/curator.

Thanks. Cassandra and Sara took much pains to figure out how to arrange them and then hang them so they were lined up and spaced correctly.

Congratulations, Anne! Wish I didn't live 3000 miles away - would have loved to have seen in person.

It would have been fun to have you see it in person. I wish they would hurry up and invent that transporter thing they had on Star Trek.

Huge congratulations to you, Anne!! So many works of yours on display with your name in WAY BIG TYPE to shout out who created these. It is wonderful that you have such ability and enjoy doing what you do, especially now at this difficult time. Keep on keeping on -- you are an inspiration.

I must admit I like seeing my name in those big letters.

Thank you for being here and your comments. It all means a lot to me. I love that some of you who met me through our mutual obsession with pandas are here for all of it.

I don’t know how/if we will get through all the stuff that is happening. I never wanted to be part of history, but here we are.

Panda on!

I will write about it soon, I promise. I just started a new series and will photograph one as I go through its stages and write about it.

I love the way your paintings are hung. Love the garden, is it? with the blue gate.

Yes. I wish I could remember whose garden it is, but my photo library is both vast and un-curated. The ladies of the gallery did a stupendous job of hanging the show.
