Before the Show, Jo-Ann Sanborn
acrylic on board, 7"x5"
$150 framed and shipped
What started out as a small painting project quickly blossomed into a huge renovation! I somehow thought that I could do it myself. I made a plan, bought the materials, gathered my tools, and went to work. It quickly became apparent that I was totally delusional about my time, my strength and my tools. Reinforcements were necessary, and quick!
Fortunately for me, a family friend just happened (thank you, God!) to be on Marco, and came to my aid with superior tools and some better ideas. That, and the help of another friend who has been so good to me in so many ways quickly put the project back on track. I'm very grateful to them both, and also to my studio mates who are both patient and supportive.
The "sticks" are gone, some beautiful floating shelves have taken their place. By the time of my next scheduled shift on Wednesday the painting should be done and I'll be putting things back together. Stop by at the next ArtWalk, September 28th and help me celebrate! Photos, and more on our exciting September ArtWalk soon.

Can't wait to see the new look although it always looked wonderful to me. Knocking on wood that you get to keep that beautiful space...
I know, I knocked too! Looking forward to your visit! We'll do an Everglades day--and paint!
