Wednesday Musings

I'm trying to avoid looking out the window as we have snow - again. Yes I do live in Canada but it doesn't mean I have to like snow in March (not that it's my favourite any other month either). 


Here is a painting I did over the weekend "Early Morning Light". Every time I take a front photograph it seems to come up grey in the background but as you can see above, it's actually blue. It's a little misleading. Partly it has to do with the winter light and maybe a little about how my eyes aren't what they used to be.

Here are "Bouquet" and "Petals" sitting here. I like to show photos of them on a flat surface so you can see the 3-D effect as well as the size when placed against something familiar. In this case, each other. Again showing one photo doesn't give a painting justice, especially oil paintings which seem to  come alive in their own way.

I managed to take photos the other day before I sent off a 6" by 6" panel. I thought that a few might be interested in how I try to make sure that you're artwork gets to you unscathed.  Before I do any wrapping, I make sure that all the information is on the back of your purchased art piece. Title, medium, size, Artists name (because my signature is impossible to decipher). Also I print an inventory number which will look something like 026.2018. 1. I wrap all boards/canvases in wax paper. There will be no smudging on my watch. 2. Bubblewrap comes next as I do not want corners dinged.    3. Tissue paper is the third wrap. This is a gift for you or someone you love and I  want you to feel like it's a present when you open it. 4. Inside your envelope you will find:  A Thank You card - because it's important for you to know that you are appreciated.  Two business cards for you to share with others Your invoice and receipt  One
