April Clouds

Pastel    6 X 8

Purely from imagination.  I’m in the groove now.  The Pan American Fiesta with the Arts and Crafts show is May8th and 9th.  Lots of work to do.

I’ll be producing work for sale (usually it’s just for my own pleasure), so (as usual) any comments are welcome.

My first mistake is the size.  I’ll need to get a mat cut for this.  The closest standard size mat is for a 5 X 7 image…..imagine that!  And usually I’m careful to work to a mat size to avoid the cost of getting something cut.  Unfortunately, using a 5 X 7 takes away too much image and doesn’t do the job.  So, off to Michael’s tomorrow …..  this may prompt me to start cutting my own! Of course, I’ll call around and see if anyone has such a thing first.  I worked so hard today to get a lot of other work done so I could  concentrate on just art, so Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m off to bed and my beloved heating pad!  More tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day……..

    that mat challenge is familiar to me. Similarly I recently started working in a longer vertical aspect ratio and there’s no commercial standard for that mat.

    That’s a great piece from your imagination! I love how tall the cloud massing is.

    Thanks, Thom. Maybe I can return all your work on this blog by becoming your official mat cutter!
