Prepping for the Vernissage

Last evening the art was hung. As you can imagine, it's a bit tricky to hang anything from stone. Last year Patrick ( shown in the foreground) put together a system of strong cord stretched taut under the lighting fixtures. With thin, flexible hooks called crochets he can attach the art to the cord. Very ingenious! In fact he calls himself "McGuyver" because of the clever ways he problem-solves! The man in the red sweater is Greg, Laury (in the overalls) and Josey, Patrick's wife are admiring the hanging handiwork. Everything looks beautiful against the old stone; it's amazing how it showcases each piece.
Here's another corner of the cave being completed.
And if you look closely at the photo I took of the window sill, you can see what helped fuel the evening's work....pastis and wine, mais bien sur!
