Framing...

 

I just finished framing for a show at Brackenwood-- lots of pieces to assemble, details to finish.

5 X 7 paintings mounted to archival mat board, cut out by hand.

The jig I built to make drilling holes easy. I tend to work at set sizes, this is my way to standardize fittings-- which makes hanging groups of work a breeze.

Finished frame from the back...

...and from the front.

Show Announcement...

I've mentioned that I've been working towards a show this May: A Matter of Taste.
You are of course cordially invited to join me at the opening reception on May 4th in Langley Washington. :)


For those of you who won't be able to be there in person, a few more of the pieces for the show will be on the blog over the next week or so.

Guinness and Peanuts (sold)

Guinness and Peanuts,  oil on linen, 5" X 7", 2013

sold

A freshly poured Guinness has a creamy, frothy look. I went through several cans of the 'draught' version to try and come close to the right look. This picture is a little darker than the actual painting which shows that cloudy caramel gradation pretty well.
This piece is destined for the May Matter of Taste show at Brackenwood Gallery in Langley.

This was the original painting for the apple of Lunch. I am happy with it-- but the scale was off by comparison to the others of the quartet, and so I did the second version, which is part of the quartet today.

Here's the third and final installment of the Meal trio. This piece is destined for the May show at Brackenwood.

Each panel is mounted on a 2 inch deep box frame, that pulls the artwork off the wall and gives it dimension and weight.
