July 2017.
Where I attempt to turn my dream of a gallery/studio space into reality. 
November 2017.
A mass of learning curve experiences later my gallery was finally ready. This is from the first night of last year’s Eastside Culture Crawl! 
November 5, 2018.
I thought this year it would be a bit easier, not a lot, maybe 10% easier to make the transformation. But it’s not. The only thing that was transferable from last year was the printed business cards, the Square credit card thing which I never used because nothing sold and now can’t remember how to use, and a book of receipts, also not used.
I don’t seem to have run out of learning curve experiences. Some of them I might write about later, once I’m over the trauma. I see from my photos that the studio doesn’t look as bad as it really is; that’s because I haven’t yet gotten around to removing some of the paintings that need to be put away. So far I feel a long way aways from having my dream show ready and I only have 10 days to go.
It isn’t easy turning dreams into reality. I will try and update this page anytime something significant happens to the space, and it better happen soon as the show starts on November 15th!!!

Good-luck on your showing. Hope you have a wonderful experience. I see some wonderful pieces. 🙂
Thank you so much!
An excellent example! Well done!
I don’t think it is quite what I would have posted if I hadn’t been so busy trying to finish a bunch of paintings for this year’s crawl but your prompt for this week seemed timely. And preparing for a show really is a Cosmic Challenge!
It’s a great choice! Best of luck with the upcoming show.
wishing you every confidence and feeling of success
Thank you so much – I need it!
