In my worry about having enough art to look professional for my upcoming show at the Lafayette Lancer Marketplace, I browsed the halls of my own home, looking for possibilities. My walls, in addition to being painted a multitude of colors, are also dotted with my favorite works - mostly from my days in art school. Most also have particular sentimental value to me as they are created with or about objects that I love, were important to me in some way, or describe a particularly hard time in my life. The above painting is all of that. I created it as a student and it pays homage to my late mother as the objects in the painting were all some of her prized possessions.
It has become THE favorite of most who visit my home. I don't want to part with it even though I want to share it with the world. Well, now the good folks at Fine Art America have made it possible for me to do both, keep my original painting and share it with the world. After a mini photo shoot, some color correction and some warp transformation, I uploaded a high resolution image file to the FAA website, and voila, now anyone can order a high quality high resolution print of Butterfly and Watch!
I'm going to have a smaller size than the original made up to hang for sale at the marketplace. As well, I'm having my 3 lilac paintings printed on canvas to hang in the show as well. I think they will show nicely as a set.
In addition to preparing cards for the show and having prints made, I've also dedicated myself (and committed to my gf and my bff) that I will create at least 2 new works for the show as well. The greatest news about that is, it is a lot of pressure but it feels like the best kind of pressure. I can't wait to get started!!!
