My Best of "IF" Show






Well, as you may have read in my latest post, I had my Illo Friday opening but no pictures were taken because of a camera malfunction. Such a bummer! It was such a wonderful night. It was so great seeing people actually taking time to read the story with each illustration. Some of the comments in my book were so touching! Several pieces sold, bittersweet as that is. Here's what the place looked like after I hung the show. Hopefully when you enlarge the photos you'll recognize the work.

Thanks for stopping by! I couldn't have done it without you and your encouragement!

  1. Hey, this is beautiful! It's a walk down memory lane for me, too. I'd forgotten the many lovely woman you've painted and some of my favorites!

    Peace...

  9. Thanks so much everyone! It's fun to walk into my space and see these in frames instead of on the computer.
    Neil, what a sweet invitation. Thanks so much! I'm honored.
    Michael, four are sold so far. In a way, they'll be hard to part with :) Thank you.

  10. What a beautiful space you have, Laurel, for your studio. And how wonderful to have an exhibit (great idea!) displaying all your amazing work for IF. Congratulations!

    I do recognize some pieces (the bulldog with the bunny ears being one of my favorites!)

    Thank you for your comment on my blog, I really appreciate your words. :-)

  11. Congrats on your IF show and your one year anniversary at your gallery. I'm sorry you didn't sell anything. Art is a fickle profession. I really like your picture, especially the rendering of the bird.

    Well, the rain forest won out. One more episode in the Gobi Desert and it's back to Huckleberry Hollow.

  15. Hi Laurel! I wish I was there! The showroom looks great! Your works are truly amazing!

    P/S - I am so sorry to hear about the camera malfunction! I had this problem too on my wedding day, so basically I only have less than 10 wedding pictures collected from friends album!
