<p>I really wanted to see the new <strong>exhibit</strong> at the art museum and invited Lucy to come along. We both like <strong>contemporary</strong> art and this was an <strong>exhibition</strong> for an artist that we've both liked, <strong>ever since</strong> she was <strong>an up and coming</strong> artist 10 years ago. This was a <strong>retrospective</strong> so there was going to be a lot of different types of <strong>work</strong> by the artist. There would be some of the artist's <strong>paintings</strong>, her early work. There would also be some of her <strong>sculptures</strong>. Her most recent work is <strong>mixed media</strong>. This is very <strong>versatile</strong> and that's one of the reasons I like her work so much. We were going to the <strong>opening</strong> of the exhibition, with a <strong>wine and cheese reception</strong> for the artist. When we arrived in the main <strong>gallery </strong>, there were already a lot of people there. Looking around, I could see that some were artists themselves and some were <strong>art critics</strong>. I'm sure there were <strong>collectors</strong> there, too. I knew the <strong>curator</strong> and looked around for him. I <strong>spotted him</strong> talking with a group of people in the corner, probably trying to talk up the gallery and the artist. After a little while, the curator <strong>said a few words</strong> and then introduced the artist. We got a chance to meet her briefly and she was very <strong>gracious</strong>. I'm glad that someone with her <strong>talent</strong> has <strong>made it</strong> in the art world. That's not easy to do. And, I think her best work is <strong>still to come</strong>.
