It was a wonderful opening for my exhibition at the Musée-Galérie Carnot, in Villeneuve-sur-Yonne last evening. First of all, this Museum is a wonderful small, elegant and fascinating museum, well worth a visit, in a very charming small, riverside medieval town in Burgundy.

Perhaps the photos, taken most kindly by my friend, Michelle Anderson of La Porte Peinte in Noyers sur Serein, tell the story best.

It was an evening of delight of sharing my passion for metalpoint with interested art lovers. I felt very fortunate.
