A PROCLAMATION

Robert MacGinnis Art Reception

I helped coordinate an art reception for artist Robert MacGinnis on September 27th. Hosted by Terry Schandel and Jan Bowersock at Terry's lovely estate, Quisisana, the event was enjoyed by all. With several sales and commissions, we feel the event was very successful. We are truly grateful for all that attended, for Jean-Marie Chapman's wonderful help, and for the absolutely beautiful day. You can follow Robert on his blog at http://macginnisstudio.blogspot.com/.
