This is my patio at open studio last year. Yup! There is a lot of stuff out. Imagine yourself walkin up the steps in the forground toward the far paintings . . .then turn left . . there's more!!

I have to set all this up, hang the show and clean everything, spic and span, to be ready. Diana and I spent most of the day today shuffling paintings back and forth, here and there, fitting in and taking away to make the whole show relate. It is no easy task! It is extremely time consuming!

I WANT to paint, but the chores getting ready for this event are much too demanding. So, if I don't put up a painting over the next few days, I know you will understand.
