What it is like to work with a Gallery!

This was my very first show at Visual Effects since they started representing my work.  It was such a great experience.  For the first 5 years I held the show at my house, which meant that we had to prepare the space by moving furniture into other rooms which transformed our living/dining room into a gallery.  I have a great hanging system so that was very helpful.  I had to stop painting much earlier so that I could get everything prepared and be ready.  I had to plan everything and do everything except on the last day before the opening when my husband would take the day off to help. 
 
This year I brought my watercolour paintings to them by the end of September so that they would have time to frame them.  Though a few of the larger paintings  I still used my exhibition frames so that folks could choose their own framing.   I was able to continue with my acrylic painting right up until Tuesday, just before the opening on Thursday evening.  After my last painting was varnished Ian delivered it on Thursday morning to the gallery.    
 
My husband took the Thursday day off, like he usually does, but really, he didn’t need to this year.  As everything was all under control.  Peter and John did all the preparation of the show on their end.  We just came with food and wine at 4:30ish.

Thanks to these two fabulous guys!  I really appreciate all the support they have given me since my work has been in the gallery. 

Thanks for stopping by.  See you next week.
