Well, it has been since last market that I made an entry...but I love reading other people's blog entries so I am going to give it another try. I have just finished 4 weeks of painting large paintings for showrooms at Furniture market. Most of the work is not something that I would hang in the gallery or sign because the pieces are painted exclusively to enhance the surrounding of a piece of furniture, but I must say, that I am always learning and being stretched.
I may have orders for abstracts today and vintage french country tomorrow...everything is large and done quickly, so I have to learn what is important and what can be left out....and every once in a while I paint one
that I want to keep and put my name on.......once this is all finished and the smallest painting I have painted is a 30x40, it will be time to go back to smaller canvases......it is like being a child learning to write on the funny lined paper that you get in first grade...just getting the hang of touching the lines and filling up that space...and now we are going to switch to college ruled paper.........
