What have I been doing, anyway?

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!

  1. I 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 ...

  3. Hi 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! :-)

    If you get to the point that you understand, please let me know. Please!
