The gallery attendants told us that we had a very good turn out. I met with people from my hometown that I haven’t met in years and made a few new contacts as well. Things are working out so well in Prince Rupert that I decided to stay a week instead of just a few days; and good thing too, because I finally had the opportunity to meet with artist, Nicole Best Rudderham in her 3rd avenue studio. We talked about a number of things. She has a background in marketing so I gleaned what I could off of her, and took some advice to attend a meeting of the “easel weasels” later on that night.
My dad was at the reception for a while, too. It was good to see him. We went out later on the next day for some sketching. We went to the top of Service Park in Prince Rupert for about 3 hours and just sketched the scenery.
