Sometimes studio work hours are long, and particularly in preparation for an exhibition, these can be well into the night, early in the morning and over entire weekends.

Sienna's been a delightful and constant companion.  Always close by, sometimes even with her paw over my foot ... reassuring me that it's all gonna be okay, press on :-)

For the exhibition Understory, I just couldn't get all ready on time so I coerced the accountant-farmer-friend-husband of mine Patrick to give me a hand with finishing off the mounted borders.

I really did delight in his exclaiming how "this isn't so easy ... or so quick" comment. Hmmhmm ;-)
