The hanging

Cath and I spent 3 hours last night hanging the paintings up for the exhibition. We had to conquer the gallery's system and get up a precariously unstable step ladder to adjust each piece. We were aided by Andrew, Cath's partner and the owner who gave some good advice on placement.

Anyway they are all up and I have 8 paintings and Cath has 6. They look great but must say it's given me another perspective of gallery work. There was also the lighting to consider and it made me realise that it is harder to hang pictures on a long wall : things cannot be so easily grouped.

Preparations are now well advanced though owing to the pianist ill health the jazz interlude has had to be cancelled. Looking forward to a great social night!
