I hung my paintings and placed my tags. Adrian, the owner of the establishment, suggested I place descriptions of the paintings. A few days later I set up my photos at the<strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\"> <a style=\"color: #800080;\" href=\"http:\/\/innisfailchiro.com\/\">Innisfail Chiropractic &amp; Massage<\/a><\/span><\/strong> as well.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>A few days after everything was placed at each business, I decided to drop off the descriptions of the paintings and see how things were going at Willow Brook.
