The water feature I ordered a few days ago showed up today and I think it’s perfect. The size is right for the booth and the color, or lack of color, works for me. There is a pretty big water basin so I believe it will hold enough water to last for two or more days which shouldn’t be a problem for the gallery sitter to take care of. It’s run by electricity so will have to be plugged in to the power strip that will be below and behind the curtain. Plants under the table will be hiding all the cords once the installation is set up in the gallery. Another part of the project fell into place with this water feature today. Glad to check it off my ToDoist list.

I began this daily journal in February, 2026 as I prepared for three exhibitions. My solo exhibition, “Portraits From My Garden” at Locust Grove in Poughkeepsie, NY, on view from June 5 – September 15, 2026, and my work that was on view in the June, 2026 group show, “Raising Women’s Voices” in Chelsea, NYC.

My next solo exhibition titled “Centering in the Midst of Chaos” will be at the Ceres Gallery in Chelsea, New York City, November 3 – 28, 2026.
It will feature digital artwork, oil paintings, and a multimedia installation.
