Isalos Fine Art

After the student show came down, I moved everything out of the gallery and started stripping the old wax off the floor. What fun. It's one of those many unsung tasks that are simply part of the glamorous gallery life. Of course, considering some of the more administrative and social tasks, it's a nice change of pace. I get to listen to music and focus on one meditative pursuit for hours at a time. By  midweek, I started applying the sealer- two coats, followed by four coats of the finish coat, the last of which I applied this evening. Usually, I don't want people to be looking at the floor, but for now, please, look at my beautiful floor.

We've got some wall patching and painting to do too, and some great new colors to try-out, but I might put it off for a few days and just get the gallery re-opened.  There's plenty of people about, and I've noticed a few puzzled looks when they see an empty gallery. Despite my 'floor maintenance" sign on the door, there's probably already rumors going around.

Plenty going on this weekend. Dragon Day tomorrow at the Opera House, to celebrate the installation of Peter Beerits' dragon sculpture. Tomorrow night, "Tree By Leaf" will play at the OHA coffee house, and  of course the movie tomorrow afternoon and Sunday evening.
