There was a lot of wine, and cheese, and cake. And wonderful friends, family, and people that I had never met. Thank you to all who visited my 'vernissage' and three week exhibit of wild horse images at the beautiful Galerie Old Chelsea in Quebec. I had the opportunity to talk about horses (one of my favourite subjects), and share stories about art, photography, photography as art, passion, leg cramps,(hiding behind a bush for an hour to get the shot you want), and I also explained why I buy Wayne Gretzky reisling, not to line Wayne Gretzky's pockets, but just because I really like it.
Thank you to Galerie Old Chelsea, and especially to Galerie co-owner, my friend Ross Rheaume, an extremely talented artist and wonderful host for the event.
The Gatineau Hills are just a short drive from Ottawa. Next time you are in the neighbourhood, be sure to stop by Galerie Old Chelsea to enjoy the eye candy from several talented local artists!
