This past Sunday, all 45 small encaustics were hung for my current exhibition, and the Artspeak Gallery doors swung open.

"intimate Wax" Artspeak Gallery

What a devilishly complex jigsaw puzzle of a job it was to hang 45 small pieces. It took about 2 hours just to decide on the flow of which paintings should be grouped together and in what order.

And then the next challenge became hanging each individual piece so they would line up correctly but not look like a boring straight line of squares. Uneven walls and floors added to the challenge so everything needed to be measured  countless times. Thank goodness for levels and  pencil marks. Then of course lighting had to be adjusted, posters put up and all the rest of it.

Finally after 7 hours of back and forth, the job was finally done and everyone was pleased.

The following 3 pieces have already been sold. And today I met with a writer and photographer from the Windsor Star newspaper who will be doing a review of the show. Thankfully, from their enthusiastic comments, it sounds like it will be a positive review.

The Public Reception will be this Friday from 7 - 10 pm and we’ve already had over 100 RSVP’s. I’m praying the weather will co-operate so people can spill outside in comfort.
