In the studio working out the details for how to hang my completed commission. Hanging cradled panels flush to a wall is a challenge. There are many ways to do it temporarily for an exhibition; but to hang perminately requires a special solution based on the location.

For this location and situation I am creating a type of shelf the art will sit on and be anchored to with recessed screws.

The solution came to me over a great latte and some quiet studio talk. Now to prototype the solution.

Getting out for a walk and stopping at a sidewalk cafe before temperatures made it into the eighties is my daily goal this late summer. Late summer leads to autumn and a very busy and serious season. It's open studio time in Philadelphia during October. I begin thinking about what new work I will have to offer and what projects I will be working on leading up to open studio

In my Moleskine I was making sure I had captured several ideas for drawings that came to me in a dream state. It always important to note what I can as thouroughly as possible for my next visit in the studio.

I will be away drawing in the mountains for a few days. So excited to have this time after missing it for the past two years!  Expecting to have lots of fun stuff to share when I return.
