June 2011 Wesley Health Care Center Art Show! Senior citizens are lively!!!

 A few words about the Wesley Art Gallery, located in the Wesley Health Care Center Gallery, where my photography show, "True Grit" is on exhibit for the month of June -  Senior Citizens RULE! I had so much fun with them at the reception Tuesday, June 7th. They knew the names of my photographs, expressed their appreciation for what I created, in hanging the show (maps and postcards hung to help the residents  feel like they were traveling in the Southwest,) pelted me with questions, and were thrilled to see "True Grit."  A special nod to Helen, and her artist friend, who are residents. They were the first to arrive! Helen told me that I reminded her of many years ago, when her life was in Arizona. I came back and presented her with her own framed copy of "Horse Whisperer" for her room at the nursing home. She was tickled pink. She has no idea how she touched my heart.  I dedicated the Wesley show to my Mom.  On Friday, I held an after - work artist reception. All those who made it, will now remember that evening forever. We won't say why either. You had to be there!   Thanks to all my regulars that found this very out of the way location. I am delighted when I see you walk through the door.

Cornell held their annual Horse Symposium today. I was able to attend a workshop on Equine Photography, and one on Websites and Social Media. Dr. Beth Moeller took on the subject of social media, and suggested a number of  steps one can take, to be seen and heard, through social media outlets. Stay tuned!

Today , surrounded by horsewomen,  I continued to be amazed  at the strength and beauty of the female horse owner. They walk and talk like they can handle anything, and they do.  You go girls!

Oh and support your local county fair, and 4-H!
