Show Set Up!

I can't believe it's time to head back to Scottsdale, AZ to participate in a 10 week art show called, "Celebration of Fine Art."  You can read more about the show at: http://www.celebrateart.com.  Set up began at 9 am on Monday, Jan. 9th....with opening night scheduled for that Friday, Jan. 13th.  It would take all 4 days (and nights) to get my studio ready in time.  My husband, Matt, proved to be as invaluable as ever!  With his help we painted the walls, laid the black and white checker board floor, painted and hung moldings and baseboards, installed the lighting (we went with fluorescent this year--more bang for the buck!), moved in the furniture, and organized my painting area with easel and paints.  Whew!  It was quite a project.  But, we got it done just in time for me to change from yoga pants to fancy black dress with seconds to spare before art collectors began showing up for the opening event.
