Installation Countdown: 2 days to go

We made it back safely from our scanning trip yesterday and are back in the studio today.  A few issues with the canvases came to light today, so there is some extra work to do.

Even though the canvases are really straight, they were not joining together as cleanly as we expected.   

Extra project #1: I had to trim and re-staple most of the corners of the canvases.  Very grateful to have a pneumatic staple gun...love that thing!

Extra project #2:  I had to extend the shapes on the front of the canvas over onto the edges where the canvases joined together.  I normally don't do this as I'm not a big fan of how it looks, but had to make an exception in this case.  There was a slight gap when the canvases butted together and this was the best solution to make the painting look visually seamless.
