I've got everything photographed, matted or framed, signed and titled and labeled on the back, an artist's statement, numerical and photographic inventories and a postcard which came out much darker than the proof. I still have to add to my mailing list and send cards but for now I'll just put them in all the obvious places and make sure to carry some with me when I go to the Co-op for lunch.
People have been so nice to me that I feel like I'm living a good
version of the movie Groundhog Day except it's my
birthday and I'm maybe ten years old.
At Liz's urging, I've included some of the pieces with multiple openings. She liked them and thought others would as well. It's difficult to predict what will grab someone's attention.
Her favorites were a couple of pieces that I really didn't think anyone but me would like. One was very monochromatic and still while another vibrates with color and is unlike anything else I've done. And the third she said reminded her of a scene in the Alps. I'll include photos of them when I get back from DC.
These multiples are a little hard to see since I've cropped the mats. I've got to spend some time rigging a better way to photograph the art. I've got it on an easel now and it isn't exactly 90 degrees so the corners slope away. It isn't as noticeable on the single opening paintings which can be slightly cropped but it really shows on the three included here.Tomorrow, as the ultimate luxury in winter preparedness, I'm having all my windows and doors professionally washed. This will be a first for me in the twelve years I've lived here and there is quite a bit of baked on fly hieroglyphics, etched spider tracery, dog nose schmut and grackle poop.
