Because I don't drive and my husband is away, I took an early bus from DC to New York City to deliver 2 big paintings and 2 smaller pieces (well wrapped and packed) for an exhibition. I placed the big ones upright in the belly of the bus. Thankfully, my packages were unharmed. The walk from the bus stop to NoHo Gallery took about 13 minutes. I was so relieved when I delivered all four that I decided to leave them as is, wrappings and all (which may be a bad decision).
After the exhibition on the 16th, I have to take the bus again, pick them up, and lug them 10 blocks to the bus stop. Let's hope the wrappings are still available so the paintings will survive the 4 1/2 hour trip back to DC. Or I could be so lucky and someone will buy one of the big paintings!
