Setting up the Gallery

Tomorrow evening is the big event, the reception, from 6-8:30. Setting up the gallery has been a peak social event, as well as a lot of work, more for some than others. Wendy, with her installation experience, took the lead. Turns out, she's a cleanliness fanatic too, so we all reaped the benefits of her obsessions and eagle eye.

Here's Wendy (above) with one of her own artwork arrangements.
Below is me with one of mine.
