Installation Countdown: Today is the Day!

Guess what today is?  You know it...the long awaited installation day!

And yes, my generous husband took yet another day off to be my installer.  Love that guy!

Installation Countdown: 1 Day to Go

Tomorrow is installation day and there is still more to do. :(   Oops, I meant a happy face. :)

One of the last two things on the list is painting the outer edges white.  This is kind of a sentimental thing for me.  It really marks the end of a painting, but I always kind of hate to cover up the drips and marks that end up on the edges of the canvas.  They are part of the artistic process and show a bit of the soul of the painting, so it kind of makes me sad to white them out.  

So here they are before I have to clean them up...

...and my friends, the absolute final step...the signature!  Viola!  Done.

New Paintings

A series of small 12"x12" paintings on canvas that were photographed 

over the weekend.  They are studies for a new series I am thinking 

about doing...called Weightless.

It might be a while before I actually get around to starting a new series as my 

commission piece is at the top of my to-do list right now.
