It’s been a week and a half since my show and I’m still trying to process it all. In fact, following the show, I immediately went on a farm vacation with the Paulick family. We got to rest, disconnect, connect, feed horses and one squirly goat named Jasper. It was much needed and a great way to soak in all the feels from the week before.⁣⁣⁣⠀

Everyone is asking me how I'm doing, how I felt about the show. Well, the art show reception was one of my favorite evenings ever. Of all time. ⁣⁣⁣Going into the evening I had fears of having a vulnerability hangover the next day. And while that was still a tad bit present, the overwhelming feeling was GRATITUDE. I couldn't have asked for a better time.⁣⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⠀
I was blown away by everyone’s presence, how they engaged with the work and with me and each other. The food and wine people brought, the beer Mark made, the stunning, surprise floral arrangements by Anne Grob, the twinkle lights outside and one heck of a curator, Alyssa, made the evening pure magic. It was an all-time great experience to see all the paintings together and share stories and poems about each one in one of my few spontaneous artist talks. ⁣⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⁣⠀
I think Mark said it best when he said, "If you really want to know Molly - tonight is the night". I put it ALL out there. Thank you for receiving what I had to share and say. It was very healing and filled me to the brim with joy.⁣⁣⁣⠀

I’ll post more details from the show and the installation soon. But, for now…A HUGE, GIANT, ENORMOUS THANK YOU TO EVERYONE who came and showed your support and purchased paintings (!!!) and prints. And thank you to everyone from afar who sent me their good wishes! These words barely express my gratitude.
