Gleaming Lark

how long does oil paint need to dry, really??

it is the final countdown and there are a whopping 55 people coming to my opening on friday night.  this makes me simaltaneously sick to my stomach and ecstatic.  hopefully noone will notice if the paintings are still a bit wet- because it's looking like that's how it's going to be!! i wish i had time to write the list of why i feel so blessed right now- but ya'all will just have to read between the shapes in my paintings for now.  after friday, i promise. . .

I LOVE GLUEDOTS.
they were the answer to the last step!
they adhere vellum to anything. . .
and THEY DON"T SHOW.
really.  you can't see them.
which means i didn't have to matte (and trap)
my chandelier drawings.
which means i saved money and time.
and will never fear presenting vellum works again.

really.
it's the small things.
