After the Long Weekend

I started this one yesterday. It's a composition that I've worked with several times, each time taking different elements of the still life and giving it a new life. I think the colours here are more vibrant. I suppose it looks and feels like a celebration. Perhaps it was the influence of so many fireworks blasting off over the weekend.

With all my canvases, I now paint the sides at the same time (except bottom, I do that 2 days later) so that they match exactly. It just continues as the painting. 


Kendra (my wonderful daughter) helped me with the canvas name. 
She is always so much better at those things than me.

You've Got Mail

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
