What to hang or not to hang

Was the question asked the most this week.

Where to hang and how to hang were another couple.



Artwork was gathered up, dropped off by other artists,


sorted out, carried around,


propped up, held up, put back down again.


Where do the lamps go?


How will the lighting work with this frame? or bounce off that glass.?


Decisions, decisions, decisions………..and dad took most of them himself!  All credit to him the Studio Barn is looking fantastic.

And the paint 'before' the 'after' paint ….. I think the 'Grumpy Grape' has it don’t you? 'Shrill Cerise' just wouldn’t do anything any favours.
