A true story about a painting, an exhibition (and possibly some crazy artist)...
All the painting photos and details were up on the Frames Gallery website, and Tuesday delivery came whizzing round. In a sea of bubble wrap, I rounded up pictures both from home and the studio and delivered them to the gallery. I realised that this wee one was missing.
That evening, I looked upstairs - nope.
At 4.50 a.m., I searched again.
At a more reasonable time, I emailed Hugh saying that there was a strong possibility that I had given it to a friend... Could it be taken off the website? At the same time the same I messaged the friend asking if this was the picture I had given her for her birthday. Nope.
By this time, I was totally stressed out and headed to the studio to search a box of wee paintings (and various other, logical but unsuccessful, places).
I couldn’t settle, I paced up and down, moving stuff and swearing. Eventually, I moved a large drawing, a frame, and the ladder to reveal a wee bubble wrapped framed picture...
I unwrapped it and actually laughed out loud. "Possibly Somewhere IV" was found!
So now “Possibly Somewhere IV” hangs proudly on the wall with the rest for the exhibition (opening 18th of May 12 - 2pm) and I have to say, it looks fab.
A huge thank you to Hugh, Nicola, Jenny, Cassandra, and Mike at Frames for all their hard work.
(There are lots of lessons to be learned here... cataloguing, tracking & storing pictures, trusting myself, and getting enough sleep!)
