A Gallery Comes Together

It took Carol and I two days to drive down from North Vancouver with 10 sculptures in the car. We took the I5 practically all the way.

When we arrived on eve of the 4th of November the gallery was still sitting totally empty. The workmen had just finisshed painting the floors which had to cure overnight. We unloaded the sculpture and booked ourselves into the Best Western for a nice soak in the salt water hot tub and pool.

Going back to the gallery the next morning - the workmen were back at it finishing up the trim. It was a very tight schedule because the Gallery had committed to opening for the Art Walk at 5pm on the 5th of November. Heres what the Gallery looked like at 2 pm.
