The York Gallery; Wednesday [ 09/17 ] -- Exhibit Opening! 8pm onward.

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

The past few weeks of work were finally coming to a head, and Charlotte was both nervous and excited and getting herself worked up into a frenzy with making sure everything was perfect. She couldn't help feeling an overwhelming sense of satisfaction with the exhibit, though. The turnout wasn't huge, but nicely manageable and thankfully not small by any measure. Some of the work was a bit amateurish, but she had to admit to being pretty blown away by a few of the others.

By the time eight o'clock rolled around and the doors were open, the gallery was set up in a display of the pieces by artist, and the usual spread of treats and drinks were available in another area of the room. Charlotte, dressed in a vibrant red, milled around the gallery to make sure everything was in order and all the guests were enjoying the exhibit. She was also keeping an eye out for the artists of certain pieces, since she was very eager to potentially meet them.

The Community Showcase Exhibit was open!

[[ or will be, once I get the very extensive OCD up! It's up! Enjoy! ]]

Each exhibit is organized by separate thread artist, with a small plaque of basic information including artist and titles, if any were given.

Anonymous Submission.

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

An anonymous submission had been made, an oil pastels on canvas piece entitled "The Oracular Vulva (http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb3/skylieicons/oracularvulva.jpg)".

Amber Atkins.

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

Ms. Atkin's submission is a lovely little painting of purple flowers (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/serenityunleashed/Amberspainting.jpg).

Katina Choovanski.

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

The striking sketch of a woman smoking (http://www.dyqatt.com/fh/smoke&mirrors.jpg) is the work of Ms. Choovanski.

Mary Connell.

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

Charlotte wasn't at all surprised about the desert theme (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/thena8572/desert.png) to Mary's submission.

Claire Fisher.

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

Two intriguing pieces were sumbitted by Ms. Fisher: Jan (http://pics.livejournal.com/swipedthatfoot/pic/000020rc/) and a self-portrait (http://pics.livejournal.com/swipedthatfoot/pic/00001zsc/g1).

Michael Guerin.

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

Mr. Guerin's submission was a simple pencil sketch of one Miss Ino Yamanaka.

Issun.

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

Charlotte was still highly amused that a wee little bug of a guy like Issun made such gorgeous work (http://i390.photobucket.com/albums/oo343/strokesofgenius_album/IssunsAmmyPainting.jpg). That must have taken him such a long time!

Savannah Levine.

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

The Ms. Levine that didn't work here submitted three very lovely pieces: an ocean scene (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/serenityunleashed/The-Glory-Revealed-Clean.jpg), a charcoal sketch of her very handsome boyfriend (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/serenityunleashed/02fk8-1.jpg), and another sketch in colored pencils of the school.

Angela Montenegro.

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

Ms. Montenegro submitted two very intriguing (http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/8773/painting2dv7.jpg) abstract pieces (http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/6126/angelapaintingyi6.jpg).

H.M. Murdock.

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

Murdock's submissions might not have been the most technically impressive, but Charlotte had to admire his confidence in submitting four (http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/lttledvl_photos/fandom%20murdock/murdocksmilyfacefinal.jpg) very (http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/lttledvl_photos/fandom%20murdock/murdockdrawing2bfinal.jpg)...unique (http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/lttledvl_photos/fandom%20murdock/murdockdrawingmeaningoflifefinal.jpg) pieces (http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/lttledvl_photos/fandom%20murdock/warpiece7.jpg).

That last one, admittedly, has surprised her and made her pleased that she'd allowed its late submission.

Hoshi Sato.

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

Not only did Ms. Sato submit a fascinating landscape (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/thena8572/alien_landscape.png) but she also had another painting of man's best friend (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/thena8572/best_friend.png) that made Charlotte go 'awww!' every time she looked at it.

Wendy Watson.

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

Potentially one of Charlotte's favorite collection of submissions, Ms. Watson brought to the exhibit three canvases: Drunk Skunk, Hidden Unicorn (http://pics.livejournal.com/notahostage/pic/00002ry8/g2), Hairball of Doom (http://pics.livejournal.com/notahostage/pic/00003k89/g2), and Book Kitty (http://pics.livejournal.com/notahostage/pic/0000403h/g2).

Andrew Wells.

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

Mr. Wells' submission joined the slightly reappearing theme of horses in a painting of Karal grooming his horse (http://vkandis-son.livejournal.com/51242.html?thread=1351722#t1351722).

OOC -- 09/17.

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

Ohmygod, thank you so much to everyone who submitted! You're all very amazing and ILU.

Mega apologies if I forgot anything! Just poke me and I'll try my best to fix it!


EEEEEEEEEEEE, exhibit! So much fun.

Kevin came in as soon as his class was over. The class lecture had put him in a funk, but he didn't want Miss York to have to do everything on her own.

"Hey," he said with a little wave.

Re: Before the Exhibit -- 09/17.

[perfectmissyork.livejournal.com]

"Kevin!" Charlotte, pumped up on adrenaline and nervousness, greeted him brightly. "Hi! Come to help a little before the exhibit?"

Ichigo arrived a bit after 20:00. After receiving a voicemail (http://first-guardian.livejournal.com/783.html?thread=78351#t78351) from Angela he could not be there. The first thing that did get his attention was the food however. You couldn't appreciate art on an empty stomach.

Claire got a glass of wine and hovered near the wall, trying not to look too self-conscious. She was curious to see what the other artists had produced.

Re: Claire Fisher.

[swipedthatfoot.livejournal.com]

Claire wasn't hovering near her pieces. Really. She was ... giving them a final critical inspection.

Which looked a lot like hovering.

"Yes, ma'am," he replied as he looked around. "What can I do?"

Re: Katina Choovanski.

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Katchoo had gone back to her room after work long enough to change into her least ragged jeans, a shirt that actually had buttons, and her leather jacket before heading down to the gallery, where she was not so much hovering near her sketch as vaguely within sight of it, pretending not to be interested.

Re: General Mingling and Snacking -- 09/17.

With some of her work on display, of course Angela was there.

This was her first exhibit opening, and she was pretty excited by the prospect. She had a glass of something fruity in her hand, and was happily milling around.
