C'est Fini!

Class is over! Everyone leaves today! It whizzed by at an alarming speed; it seems like only 3 or 4 days ago we arrived here. What a wonderful group of women, what a fun experience it's been, how hard we all worked and played, and what beautiful work has been created!

Here is the entire crew, including Jerome and Kippy, and a picture of the artists checking out the show before the guests arrived at our Vernissage last night...
Shortly afterwards, the room was crowded with friends and neighbors, champagne was flowing. Somewhere there's a photo of me talking with Gilbert Shelton, the underground cartoonist. I'd love to have that.
Here are the artists and their work:
Lesley Inglis from Maryborough, Queensland, Australia...
Wendy Talbot from Maryborough, Queensland, Australia...
Joy Davey from Eugene, Oregon...
Averill Jones from Decatur, Georgia...
Nancy Oyler from Louisville, Kentucky...
Joyce Guariglia from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania...

Honey Hilliard from Tallahassee, Florida...
A sit-down dinner with guests afterwards, prepared by Chef Marc Bost... with a surprise... ABSINTHE!!!
