With help, I finally hung this artwork, and, thankfully, hangs according to my plan. I placed the wall hangers 32 inches apart, making it easy, and a pleasant surprise, to lift the less than one foot needed to mount it. On March 11th I will have worked on this project for two months. This work has exhausted me, along with a coughing cold for the last few weeks. Soon I will mount it at the 2Roots wine bar locally, torture through the three-hour reception on the 20th, and then 30 days later, take it down and because of It size, try to fit it in with the thirteen other 4 Seasons artworks that have never seen the light of public view. Good riddances. This entire project felt like a commissioned work. And it was, as my last good faith effort to support our dying EmptyWallsArt art group. Like all commissioned work it had its interesting challenges and obstacles, and out-of-nowhere answers that were needed to get to the end of this project in a mind sobering two months.
