On Friday the 16th, nine of the thirteen artist of Wings spent six hours hanging the show. The atmosphere was a chaotic, excited frenzy to get the work hung to the best advantage for each piece. We had interesting challenges such as the S hooks were too big for the hanging chain provided, lucky I gave all the hooks and chain from my gallery to my brother in law for his school. I don't know how we would have solved that problem had John not offered the use of his chain and hooks. Another challenge was two step ladders to be shared among us. Only tall people could reach the celling on these short ladders, I would not have been able to hang the show alone with the ladder the gallery has. The effort paid off and we were pleased with the flow of diverse creativity spanning the walls of Kariton Gallery. The last one to leave, I was exhausted as I walked to the car. Glancing over my shoulder to the lake I saw a shooting star streaking to earth through the trees. I stopped briefly to reflect on the auspicious nature of a shooting star on this night.

Wow what a show , people started trickling in at noon we were still setting up the tables of food and drink, the musicians were tuning up and the piano was plugged in. The ambiance was a thrilled excitement of artist, friends, family and the public. They filled the rooms with smiles of interest and awe, proud and thankful to be sharing this day with such a group of talented artist.
