Well, it finally happened, another place another time, and all is well. Boundless Arts gallery and art supply is a happy home to a number of my paintings till Jan.09
Never give up, never give in, I think it is a line from some movie but I like it.
The hardest thing about getting work together for the show was putting together a theme. My stuff tends to be all over the place on subject matter, but
“Domestic Nature” worked pulled a good mix that fell into that theme; dogs, cats, horses, and flowers. Here are a few paintings from the show:
If you are thinking of doing a solo show, plan to spend some time and money on frames.
I had a lot of help from Kelly at Jagged Edge Gallery and framing shop in Fenton MI.
A good framer can help set a painting off....matting scares the tar out of me.
You can learn a lot about your work when you have to present it as a group, hope it something that every painter gets the chance to do.
Stick with a neutral mat 2-3inches wide and you can't go wrong. I'm living proof you can learn to cut them yourself!
ReplyDeleteI agree a solo show is a challenge and the time and $$ of framing is daunting but having a good framer is wonderful.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI like the horses and the second flower, namely the chosen chroma and the values.
Kind regards,
José
congrats on the show. I really love the colors you use in your flowers!
