Ilaria, having the shakes before a opening is quite normal especially when I invest lot of effort for everything to be perfect. My biggest fear was 'will anyone come'. I'm talking about my first exhibit here in Bad Homburg. If you can imagine, cool on the outside but on the inside I had my bag of questions. I distributed and hand delivered hundreds of fliers. The day came and it was jammed packed. I did not have still lifes like you to sell rather it was a exhibit set up to introduce self and introduce the work I do. It was a three day thing a excellent experience and I landed a nice size commission. I am sure you will do better than I being that you have items that will sell. So, sales and commissions will be your reward. One more thing. Just in case you have not thought about it try to advertise at the near by hotels a day or so before the exhibit.

Wish you nothing but the best
