Sending the kids to camp!

The "kids" on the couch waiting to go to "camp"!

Varnishing has been done.  Hanging wire has been installed.  Bios and statements and price lists have been sent. All that was left was to drop off the work.

It's always an odd feeling when the pieces you've slaved over and fussed over finally go off to the gallery.  Like "sending the kids to camp", you've done everything you can do but now it's out of your hands. They're on the bus and you won't see them again until "visiting day".  Weird.

Actually, it was fun dropping them off.  Ben and I took the pieces into The Creole Gallery and met Roxanne, who is co-organizing the show with Ena Busby, and Tanya Becks, another artist who will be doing a performance piece.  They both seem like great people. Very friendly and very easy to talk to. New friends! Always great! Everyone is excited for the show and looking forward to the opening on Sunday. Now all I have to do is wait.

Naw, forget that, I'm gonna paint!
