McMullen Gallery - Opening Reception

The opening reception for our Procession West show was this past Thursday evening at McMullen Gallery. Rob was unable to attend as he is working at an industrial site up in the Oil Sands north of Fort McMurray. The show looks really good and the gallery staff did a great job organizing everything.  Our photographs were paired with some botanical watercolors by local artist Elaine Funnell.  I think the pieces really compliment each other and the show worked really well.  Attendance for the opening was moderately good and I would estimate that around 50 people attended over the couple hours that the gallery was open.  It was a beautiful summer evening, and the Fringe Festival was on, so we had that to compete with.  The work will now hang in the gallery until late October so hopefully it is well received.  I got a lot of positive comments from everyone that was in attendance.  We were well supported by friends and family but there were also a lot of guests there that were strangers to me.
