We finished the preparations for our exhibition and when everything was ready
a photographer from the newspaper "L'Avenir" (The future) came and took pictures.
and the article was published the next day !
Now the room was ready for the vernissage
The buffet looked very appetizing, and had a lot of success. Nothing was left !
People started to arrive. Mr. G. met our son's math's teacher, whom I hadn't seen since for more than 30 years ! Micheline (our teacher) and I posed for a picture.
The vernissage was a full success, there were so many people and also some aldermen from the Waterloo city. At 8 pm I left, I was exhausted it had been a very long day !
Saturday and Sunday the exhibition was open from 11 am til 5pm. We were the guards, in the middle sits our administrator who will celebrate her 80th birthday on Thursday ! On the right the aldermen for culture showed up for once, all the other years he was there probably as a ghost, because we never saw him and he pretended that he had been there ! Politicians have to lie, otherwise they wouldn't be politicians ! Most of the people wrote a little note in our "golden book" appreciating our work.
There were again a lot of visitors
The people chatted and some of them hadn't seen each other in years. This masterpiece of a cat should demonstrate "anger", but everybody thought it was a Halloween cat.
Finally on Sunday the exhibition was over, I was the guard for the last time together with our teacher on my left and Christiane on my right. Ilona came with her mother who is still fit like a fish in the water despite her 90 years !
All in all it had been a very nice exhibition, but now I need some rest !
What a huge exhibition. I still like your style of painting and colours the best. Cats always look good. The food looks delicious.
