The OTHER side of being a gallery owner and artist.....

Not only do we make the art that goes INSIDE, but we designed and built the building and are the maintenance department and groundskeepers too. This time of year, those latter jobs involve a lot of shoveling. Luckily, John was gifted with an artistic gene along with a strong back. One of our current projects is expanding and changing the parking area in front of the gallery... 

While we're at it, we thought we might as well set up a nice 'elk feeder' by the door. (People who don't live in Gardiner, may call these things 'flower beds'.)

Unfortunately, a very large rock was right in the middle of where we wanted to expand the parking, so it had to be coaxed into a new location. (John's back isn't quite strong enough to pick that one up.) Then, we repositioned the fence and had our first visitors.
