Late night stress....









with my photographing all of the pieces that have arrived for the 100 Artist show. I drag out my makeshift photo studio at the front of the gallery, hang up paper, adjust my tripod and then attempt to take the pics.

Another stress factor.....I'm also trying to learn how to manage my new website. My explanation for this learning curve is like pinching myself until I want to scream in pain and then the relief when the pain starts going away. My agonizing over the "paths", appearance and adding pages" have me stressing but when it works...wow! success! Maybe it's not THAT painful.

So...instead of adding the images to the website right now I thought I would just add a few of these for the blog. All of the images will be added in one lump right before the show but now you can get a "taste" of these incredible pieces! Get it? A taste? Raising money for Marion Polk Food Share? ok, ok...I know, I've been at this computer way too long, forgive my humor.
Just take a look...pretty cool! Again...lucky me, I LOVE all of these artists!

Yes, they are fantastic. This year will be interesting for us to figure out just how to hang the show. So many pieces sit, some hang and others even have lights....yikes...more stress to come.

Thank you for inviting me! I am so glad you like what I came up with-even though it is not as exciting as something with lights.
