I also have an artist talk mid-week. Come and see me make an a$$ of myself. I really never know what to say at these things. My art openings are the only times I tend to be shy.

Take a couple of shots before you speak to help.

Sherill,

I'll try to make it... not 100% sure I can though. Definitely would like to see your works - especially the MINI-related ones!

I can't make it on Sunday, but I would love to hear you speak. When is your talk? Since I live here in Rockville, I will most likely be able to attend that. You'll do great !

Lets say, we can meet up at Starbucks on Rockville Pike @ 5pm, chill out for a little while and leaving there to the mansion around 6.30pm.

Starbucks, WinterGreen Plaza.
865 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852

I'll post in a Coffee & Minis thread as well.

Well the art has been dropped off and is being hung by professionals. If anyone is wondering 67+ artworks will fit into a mini!

I might meet up for the Coffee & Minis before the talks too...

I just came back from the opening a short time ago. Wow... it's astounding how talented Sherill is at her very unique form of art. The attention to detail and the obvious painstaking patience it must have taken to create just one of her pieces, let alone the entire collection...

I highly recommend that people try to visit this month while the art is still there.
