Steven (left) and Chris climb up on a bookshelf to take
four pieces that make up Breakfast in the Hotel down.
Yesterday afternoon in what threatened to bea thunderstorm, but luckily was just rain,
we took down the largest work I've ever done
from St. Clair Printing and Graphics, and brought
it home to the studio to get the paintings ready
for New York City!
Steven and Chris joke around
before the hard work begins. They
are on a very narrow shelf, and Sam
(not in the picture) stepped in to help.

run the company -- they are master printers and
designers, and dear friends. Thanks Chris and Ellen
for being exceptionally kind to my work, and promoting
me in every way possible. And a big thank you to Steven,
my husband and Sam, my son, for helping us get those
big paintings off the wall, so they can begin to prepare
for their flight to New York at the end of this month.
