To frame or not to frame

Some people like to buy unframed paintings, choosing a frame to match both the painting and their home decor. Others like to buy the full package, painting and frame, as a ready to hang package. So where does this leave the artist?

Well there is no easy answer. So what I'm doing at Calderglen, is to offer both options. I'll have 3 framed paintings, and hang the rest unframed, but will have two prices of each. 

Here's one that I'm getting framed.....

Countdown to Calderglen

One week to go until we open the doors to our exhibition at Calderglen Country Park. 

"We" are Fran Alexander, John and Susan Ralston and myself, and we all have very different artistic styles, which will make a very diverse exhibition.

I intend to bring along some of my college artwork, and I also have 6 new paintings to show. I'm also hoping to paint more this week to add to these.

Here's a couple for starters....

Left Behind

As Creative Processes completes, this is the culmination of my work for this module for the year. 11 clear acrylic panels, paying homage to the Heidelberg print presses that are being left behind once the college moves to it's new building.
