RECEIVING DAY

John O'Keefe dropping of 'Summmer on the Valley' and 'big cork tree'

John O'Keefe on Receiving Day

Here I am dropping off two paintings: "Big Cork Tree" (which was not accepted into the exhibition) and "Summer in the Valley" (which was accepted). I never presume to know which of my paintings will be well received, it varies from judge to judge and person to person. However, I always get excited to hear from people what they think of my paintings.

VISTING THE GALLERY (...I missed the reception)

Unfortunately I was not able to attend the opening reception for the exhibition. But, my family and I did visit the gallery to view the exhibition. Below are some pictures taken during that visit.
