The last framed painting "Talisman "  ( center ) is ready two days earlier than promised, completing the Istanbul Reverie series. I'm relieved to have them up today ; now I have a couple of days to finish up details- last-minute posters and post-card deliveries to the other venues nearby participating in Open Studios this weekend., writing up a price list and artistic statement. I bought a case of coconut water - it's turned  hot and I want my guests to be refreshed !
