My exhibition (Florida Portraits) was taken down this morning, a little more than one year after it's initial "opening" at Sarasota County's public Terrace Building. The exhibition space will soon be undergoing a major remodeling for county administrative purposes - and hopefully a public access for the better.
A little saddened once again, seeing my old buddies - wrapped in bubble-wrap, labeled in cardboard boxes and carted temporarily upstairs. These portraits were part of my sister, Caren's collection of prints that she once treasured. Removing them today, I found myself remembering each subject - individually, personally, fondly.
