“From the Forest to the Foreshore” exhibition is beginning on Saturday. (Check here for more information.) I thought you might like to see what I have painted for it. I created 2 paintings, both of scallop shell fragments. The first 2 photos are of the actual shells.
The next couple of photos show the finished paintings. (Sorry about the strange cropping of the works, but I am becoming much more aware of copyright issues. 😦 I am wondering whether showing only some of my painting may make it less desirable to copy.)
And then making the decisions about frames. What do I like? What might a potential buyer like? What suits the paintings? The black card and the mount board helps to understand what it will look like by removing other visual distractions.
I was very happy with the framed paintings.
If you get to the exhibition, tell me what you think. I would love to know.

Hei Anne, I like your shells too. I also worry about copyright, but now just write this across the painting like a watermark and hope for the best.

Creating watermarks is on my list of things to learn — but somehow, it never gets to the top of the list! Thank you liking the shells 🙂

What a pity you can’t make it over for the exhibition 😦 There are nearly 300 works, of diverse subjects. Some I am in awe of!
