No Lynnie, I have never heard of that. Isn't my signature on the painting enough? Can you tell me more about the certificate of authenticity? I try to hold back on the oil tubes…got a collection of dried ones.

Lynnie, a vernissage is an art show. Either you display just your paintings or you can share with another artist. You can do the showing in a gallery, banks and some large stores have them in their stair wells.

You invite everyone you know with posted invitations to the vernissage opening. There you may have a musician or little combo jazz band. You serve Champaign and snacks. People get all dressed up for these occasions. They walk around, study your paintings with or without their spectacles, while holding long cigarette holders, whether they smoke or not, and pretend to be very debonair.
No, just kidding. There are some normal people here too.
