The opening was well attended, especially since it was Gallery Night in Ithaca, and there were a lot of people downtown for all of the exhibits. We enjoyed seeing so many people and many of them really seemed to appreciate the show. If you haven't gone yet, the work will be up through December 22. We are waiting for the first Lulu books that we ordered to arrive and if you have interest in seeing the paintings and reading the text that goes with them, the book may be of interest to you. Let us know. You can now see the images and texts on the Embracing Life blog. Not a substitute for the real paintings! but good if you can't get to Ithaca.
