That wasn’t so bad, sitting in the Rochester Contemporary Art Tent at the Party in the Park in downtown Rochester. Watkins and the Rapiers sounded good opening for the opening band although I wished they would have played more of their originals than the covers. I don’t remember the second band and John Hyatt was easy enough to tune out. Two other artists were stationed in the tent. Pete Monacelli is already a good friend and it was a pleasure to get to know George Wegman’s work. The top notch RoCo staff (Bleu and Carly) were there, raising awareness, and they are a delight to hang with.
I tried my best to talk my way out of doing a portrait of a woman who liked my work, even told her it probably wouldn’t look like her but she insisted so I gave her my email address. The rain today will probably turn the dust in front of the ISquare Gallery into mud for tonight’s opening so wear appropriate footwear if venture out.
