I haven't made a post to this blog in a while because I've been posting to my "studio blog". I've been "building" a 36" square canvas and four (4) custom picture frames. I need to go to the "lumber store" and get more wood to make a few more frames.
I heard from a "reliable source" in one of my art clubs that one of the art-show judges considered "gallery wrap" paintings to be unfinished and shouldn't be shown in a show/exhibit. So . . . . I'm putting frames on my gallery-wrap canvas paintings for the art show(s). I guess that I don't mind too much. I'm not a fan of gallery wrap paintings myself, but they seem to be popular in magazines & such.
Whatever!
money, money, money...
ReplyDeleteI mean, gallery wrap paintings seem to be popular for being less expensive, and surely also for the modern look they have. Well, I don't really know about that, just trying to understand ...
ReplyDeletehello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just visiting here....
ReplyDeleteHi there, Carolina! I don't understand the resistance to "gallery wrapped" paintings. I suppose it's the same "OLD" type of mindset that the impressionists ran into long, long ago. BUT to be "safe" I'm putting my paintings in frames & if anybody buys one, I'll let them know my secret! :-)
ReplyDeleteIf you get to the point that you understand, please let me know. Please!
