“Remoted” – Day 383 (Saturday)

The day ranked high on quiet and also high on productive. With coffee poured, the morning was spent handwriting tags for photos that will be available for sale. It was imagined that the photos would be brought down to The Brush Art Gallery and Studios and hung on my associate artist wall today, but reality proved that imagination can be rather flimsy when it comes to timelines. 

Tags were written with the artist code and item title, but the process fell apart when it came to price, which is always where the wall is hit head on. Calculating the magical price point that will appeal to buyers and somehow reflect the effort behind the work is not my forte, is quite personally painful, and is currently delayed. Maybe Sunday's coffee will provide pricing inspiration.

During the week, acrylic shelves and hanging nails arrived. Business cards ordered last weekend had been assigned an expected delivery date of today. These delivered with the regular mail at 4:30. The intent was to fasten a card to the back of each piece. It’s frustrating when I buy an artwork and there is no identifying information for the artist. I have several pieces with no signature, no information on the back, and no clue who created them.

Had the business cards arrived earlier, the timeline might have been hastened during the day. Or not. I’ve known for several weeks these tasks would need to be done, and still waited until today to get busy with it. The leisurely pace of matting and framing pieces that needed it, tagging and bagging, and making a list of what is going to the wall was quite pleasant. Unfortunately, the leisurely pace also means that these now won’t be hung until next Saturday. All in good time.
