So folks the show is up.....thanks to Ray and Freya. Ray set all the paintings out around the gallery and began the groupings. Freya did lifting and handing and holding while I said things like higher, lower a bit to the right etc. But Ray was the real star. His experience with those fiddly s-hooks and chains made everything go smoothly and his aesthetic sense is impeccable. Our ideas click instantly and he is funny while he works. I added my wicker settee, a mirror and a plant to improve the ambiance. We had a very successful and stress less day. Thai food for supper was delicious but we were almost falling asleep in the restaurant.
He's not getting any younger either.
Did I mention that the show looks really good? Seeing it all together in one space is a revelation. I never realized that it all ties together so well and that I have a clear Claire style.
To quote Mambolica, "I am made of awesome".
