Process

I have been painting a lot of 10" by 10" canvases lately.
Like most things that you do over and over again, you realize that you have a method.


I have a tendency to paint my canvases three times.
The oil paint always gets too wet and you have to stop or everything gets grey really fast.


So I usually do what I call the rough base coat first.



I sometimes go further and fill in on the first go.
Yet I'm not good enough yet to fill it all in and all the details yet. It probably is also due that I paint in layers and glazes for some of my petals instead of just flat color applied strategically beside another.


As I'm learning and improving, I guess the important thing is that I get there in the end.

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
