Tonight is the opening of the show. Actually, it’s in an hour so I have to make this really quick. The past 36 hours we’ve been working hard installing the show. Monique and I went to sleep around 4 this morning and then we hung the rest of the paintings today. The entire blog has been printed and pasted to the wall, it looks really great and it’s interesting to see it in its entirety, at once, on one wall. I’ll make a longer post to the blog tomorrow to with more photos. The picture at the top of this page is me drilling into some plywood, which was never used in the installation. You know how that goes, random projects that suck up time that never come to fruition.
I want to thank Douglas for his satanic post to yesterday’s blog and for coming by the gallery around 1AM to bring drinks and snacks! It was a great entry and I’m honored to have him as the first, guest writer.
I also want to thank Monique and Martina for all their hard work on the show! So thankful.
Oh, and I want to thank Marc Jancou for arriving today from New York for a one day visit, just for the opening.
The sun is setting and we have to leave to get to the gallery.

I have been incredibly fortunate to be able to read your blog every day, as my dear friend Avo sent it to me the day you began. As someone who has been going to St. Barths for over 20years with his family, I find myself very nostaligic on the one hand and inspired by your wonderful perspective and experience there. Thanks for sharing your journey. Congratulations on your show!

I have loved reading your blog and have vicariously lived the swims, the beaches, the food, the dragons, etc. (Loved those hanging sheet photos.) Congratulations on your show. Monique's mom, Cora
