Highlights (& lowlights) from the last day of 2011…..
I pack and load the car with the 10 paintings in the “Ontogeny” series (5 ~ 16×20, 5 ~ 11×14).
I decide at the last minute to grab an 11th, an older painting which some of you might already be familiar with, 
”Marching Orders”. It happens to also be 16×20, the importance of which I will soon share with you. Figured that the layout of the room (three walls, each a different length) might require an “extra” piece of art, perhaps to be paired with my artist’s bio.
I unwrap the artwork, not all of the artwork mind you, because ‘clever me’ (***said with sarcasm***) decided it would be okay to wrap every other one, leaving the 2nd, 4th, etc. paintings unwrapped. Bad form. Bad, bad form. Because even though 9 out of the 10 paintings were unscathed upon arrival, one frame managed to get so scratched up I actually let out a screech when I saw it.
And so my chicken painting came to the rescue of my frog painting.
Thankfully, I had also decided to take my point driver and needle nose pliers, both of which I don’t typically have along for hanging a show. I did a quick switcheroo of the frames and hung the frog painting on the wall with the bio next to it. I packed up the damaged frame and chicken painting, and headed out the door thankful that a last-minute decision proved invaluable.
Okay, so this isn’t an election year. And yes, it would be a bit far fetched to have a gull wearing bunny ears running for office. But one thing is for certain…YOUR VOTE COUNTS!!! So be sure to stop by Tony’s Crab Shack along the boardwalk in Bandon and cast your vote for the bunny that’s your fave. There are many wonderful bunnies displayed, some by well known local artists, others by school-age children. Each is labeled with a letter or number. And if it’s my “Bunny Wannabe” that you take a liking to, then be sure to write down letter ‘U’. 
The “Hop to It!” Bunny Art Show continues on the Bandon boardwalk until the Cranberry Festival in September, at which time the Awards will be announced.
Triptych sneak peak.
