Big Show, Tonight
I've been frantically framing and preparing for the opening tonight. There will be 20 paintings at Anne Martin McCool Gallery, although I just noticed that she has not updated her website. Oh, well. I am using three different framing techniques. One is a molding I designed and my brother cut in walnut. It's kind of a fab 60's design that I thought looked good with my more abstract work. I also have a traditional linen matt with a plain dark red frame and a gold filigree, I put that around my more traditional impressionist works and finally a plain dark frame with a poplar wood insert that I really like. Framing is such a chore. I've noticed that a lot of my artist cohorts have pretty much given it up. They hang plain unadorned canvas or paint around the corner of the canvas. As I have been painting on panels, that won't work. I don't think I would sell anything that was just a plain panel. So, I am a framer. Hope something sells.
