Once I brought my paintings into the library and put all the containers by the wall near the desk, one of the librarians showed me how to use the wire picture hanging system and how it hooked into the tracks on most of the walls.
On the north wall most of the paintings were hung either on nails that were already set into the walls or were hung from nails in the edging at the top of the wall.
I started with the west wall first, as most of the areas were between the windows and I thought that putting abstract paintings there would look well.
Since the spaces between the windows were not the same size, some were larger spaces and others were smaller spaces. I put one painting for the most part in the smaller spaces and two paintings in the larger spaces.
Once that wall was completed, I started on the long north wall, which had larger sections and a few small sections between the windows. It differed in that there were a couple of sets of tables and chairs, low book shelves and a few large chairs against the wall.
I started from the corner and gradually worked my way across the wall in the areas where there were no people using the chairs or tables.
I did manage to get almost half of the north wall hung, but couldn't go much further without having to ask people to move, which I wasn't going to do in the library.
From there, I started putting up the main paintings on the display area on the east wall just back of the main desk. By then the library was going to close and I removed my empty containers and remaining paintings.
Tomorrow first thing in the morning, when the library opens I will return and hang the paintings on the west wall over the chairs and tables before they are occupied and finish hanging the east wall.
The exhibit will run from 04 September - 08 October 2019.
