Here I am getting ready for another large painting. I DO love to paint LARGE!

Well I must get a move on. I have had to send my artist’s info and photo into Arts In Redditch for the exhibition next week! 

OMG I have so little time to get ready! As soon as I finish work tomorrow I am going to get started on my next painting. I hope I get them all done! I have two done so far but I have planned to do 7! I hope I get them all finished, it’s gonna be some short nights this week.

I will keep you updated.

Ciao for now,

Cindy

 

Reflections… framed

Wow, I can’t even explain to you how hard this painting was to frame.

The frame was a bit lighter than I thought it would be, and it would move when I didn’t want it to.

And the painting was so big and the paper kept moving, I don’t know, I will definitely have to have help with it next time.

I wanted to show everyone how big this painting is.

In case you missed it, the title of this painting is:

I have been frantically painting a BIG painting today.

Remember that Big Paper I told you I was using? Well, this painting is BIG. It is 28×20″ pastel painting.

I have been busy getting ready for an upcoming exhibition with many other local artists.

The exhibition will take place 5-15th November in Redditch UK.

It will be at the Kingfisher Shopping Centre located next to WHSmith.  It is a pop-up gallery, hosted by Arts in Redditch.

The gallery is open 10am to 4pm and I think 5pm on Saturday.

If you would like to come and say “HI” I will be working on 11th November all day.

I really would like to do a demo, I will have to check in with some of the managers to see what day I can do that, if I know soon enough, I will let you know here too.

The thing about painting with pastels, on paper, is that you have to be really careful not to bump it.

At least other mediums will dry and you don’t have to worry about the painting that much, but pastels get scuffed, scratched, fall off the paper, etc.

I can’t wait to get this framed!  I will feel much better when that happens.

That’s all for now, I must get back to painting! Have a great day and thank you for stopping by.

I love all my readers.

Ciao for now!
