The exhibition was of work by 9 female artists from throughout the province. We were ten, but one couldn't come for family reasons. The special day for women is 8 May, irrespective of what day of the week the celebration falls on. This exhibition was in March because of that celebration, and will run for the whole month. The title for the exhibition comes from the artist whose work was pictured on the poster and invitation, Artesimia Gentileschi, and many years later I am very happy to be one of "the others" in the tradition of Italian female painters.

people were upstairs and downstairs, moving constantly, coming and going... around 200 were there
the food was a three course meal - a colourful artwork itself, the antipasto was so beautiful, sorry I was too busy enjoying to take a photo...
For a while you couldn't get near the long table, guests were 3-deep on either side, but there was more than enough food...
I love the way the rocks intrude and interrupt the hanging space...
part of my space
two of my local scenes with window in the middle
and now it is nearly midnight... buonanotte...
