Getting ready for the Studio Tour

I am busy tweaking the studio and getting my art ready for the tour. I heard The Glebe is using their bus for residents to tour. I hope someone comes. Today we are putting up 2 plate racks. Also maybe putting together an easel. Only 5 more days. Here's a new painting.
