Installation complete. . .Opening on Friday!


I spent a few hours in Pacifica today installing my 50/50 piece.
Here's a sneak peak:

There are 66 other artists in the show. The work is pretty interesting and varied. I think my piece holds its own pretty well. I'm looking forward to going back to take a closer look at the other work during the opening and when I gallery-sit on August 16th. If you go, my piece is in the East Wing, fourth one on the left.

I have a few more things to do to prepare for Friday's opening. . . then I have to clean up my studio!!
