Isalos Fine Art

It's always a challenge  for us to get a few good pictures of our openings. We're always so busy dealing with the food, opening wine or  counting huge stacks of money that it's tough to get the camera out. Rebecca did at our August 21st opening for Eugene Koch's Lines of Sight, and came up with a nice group of photographs, documenting the end of the hanging process and the gallery as guests began to arrive.

I've posted them on Facebook: have a look!

One  thing that impressed me about these photos, is that most of the time, the people are actually looking at the art! Often, our photos from an opening show groups of  people standing around talking and eating, their backs to the artwork. This time, our guests seem to be looking and discussing the artwork, perhaps scratching their heads, wondering "how'd he do that?"

We're getting some perfect weather  in Stonington now. Sunny, maybe a little cool with crisp, clear air. To be sure, it feels autumnal. The sidewalks are less crowded than they  were a short time ago. In the gallery, we have a couple more days left of Lines of Sight, before re-hanging for a three-artist show that opens Friday, featuring Barbara Brady, Carolyn Caldwell and Rebecca Daugherty. As I write, Rebecca is upstairs in her studio, working hard to get her new paintings done. The Department of Transportation has been on the island for the  last week, repaving. Rebecca has been following their progress, and has several new paintings that will undoubtedly still be a bit wet for the opening.
