There were many friends who couldn't make the reception due to conflicts caused by the postponement. It seemed like a good idea to have another "mini-reception" without the bells and whistles of the original one. No wine this time.
Last Saturday the museum happened to have free admission, so I invited those I knew couldn't make the opening. I'm happy I did because this was an opportunity for my grandmother to see the work. She doesn't get out much but my mother was thoughtful enough to bring her.
Grandma Naff is a quiltmaker, so Jason Wilson's quilt inspired paintings loudly spoke to her. She saw familiar patterns and had a great time reverse-engineering the patterns' designs.
I'm also glad that a newly discovered cousin and some of my closest art friends were able to make it before the show closes on the 25th.
