Sometimes the bills just have to come first!

As much as we love working in our studio and would be quite content to be here everyday, occasionally a faux finishing job comes along that we feel the need to say yes to (still a great business to be in and it keeps the cash flow going). So, today we started working at a very nice home down in Port Royal and we will be there for a few weeks.


Which of course means that the 'Painting A Day' project could come to a screeching halt. The main purpose of committing to the daily painting is the discipline of creating something every day regardless of other things that come up. The next few weeks will prove to be a good test of our focus and commitment to our art. Especially now that it is in writing and broadcast out to the world. Feel free to nag and hold us to our promise!


Today features a cool little painting done by Steve that has a 'zen' feeling to it. It incorporates an interference green/gold metallic with natural papers and very fine lines of gold and bolder swishes of black. The sides are black and the top is edged in 18k liquid gold leaf. Every time Steve does something along this line it sells quickly at our shows. People respond to the rhythm and balance that is a big part of what this painting is about. With a previous one we mounted it on top of some organic bark paper and then had it professionally framed in a floating frame. Great look and an inexpensive way to make your art have a much bigger impact. Feel free to contact us if you need some ideas about how to frame your art - it can be the thing that makes all the difference (our picture framer made me say that....) !!!


Happy Monday - and by the way, happy birthday to my beautiful sister! I am so lucky to have her in my life. I love you Jen!!!
