No Solid Ground
Mixed media drawing in my “transformations/mummies/burials” series. This is on grey Canson Mi-teintes art board which is a bit hard to scan. My scanner s/w auto setting makes it way too brigt & light, and much warmer in tone than it appears to the eye. The board is textured, with some variation in tone, and is perhaps a bit reflective, although it seems to be a matte surface. It is designed with tooth for pastels, etc. Not at all sure that I like it…
This is the last prepared blank duck egg in my collection: now it is the “scribble egg” or the “climbing egg”.
I do have one more blank egg: it is an ostrich egg! It needs some prep work before I can draw on it. It seems to have a fairly glossy coating that I probably have to sand before I work on it. Also I want to think about how to display it, and decide whether to fill the conspicuous holes used to empty it.
Curly Twigs IIa digital
I am on Susie’s list for art on the walls at 1012 Coffee Bar in July. I have lots of new work ready to hang; work that has not been displayed in town. But how to choose? I want to have professional looking “show”, with works that look good together and in this narrow display space. I would also like to price the work suitably, and choose some work that might actually sell (so probably something fairly affordable). Of course I don’t want to under price work that I would just as soon keep to hang at home, or might hope to show off in a gallery somewhere.
I could frame and show some digital prints as well as original works, and price them accordingly. But P.T. art customers probably don’t buy framed copies much, when there is a lot of affordable original work around. I should probably give up on the idea of sales. The odds are that nothing will sell, and that would certainly simplify things!
But I still don’t know what to show!
I think I need help!
