Working on a small, casual show for Muddy's in Portland, OR
I think that's how you spell it. Anyway, my sister and I had this idea to make money by selling our art at her restaurant that she currently works for in order to raise enough money for her to come and visit me this summer... I love my sister.
So, I'm doing 6-8 small pieces, the larger pieces of the series being perhaps 16x20s and the smallest 8x10s. Here are a few pics of the smaller ones, and one I'm working on as we speak. I started smallest to largest. My best work will come in the larger pieces because large scale is how I prefer to work, however, I wanted to make these affordable for a cafe. I will have better pics when the sun comes out. Also, these will all be framed. Sorry about the poor lighting and quality! Last edited by pinkie; 04-28-2006 at 10:12 PM.. |

They're very nice. I especially like the way you do the skies.

holy crap pinkie.
those are awesome. i love how you've finished the works around the edges. i'd leave those unframed for 2 reasons. 1) it's a great effect, IMHO it adds another layer of depth 2) it keeps your costs down, lower prices mean easier sales. i guess the flipside to #2 is that you can mark up the frame and make more $, but in my brief experience with sales, it's a lot easier to find 10 people to spend $100 than it is to find one who'll spend $1000. i don't want to devalue your art if you think it's worth more. my apologies in advance if that's what i'm doing. if you're keeping things around 8 x 10 i'd try to keep the work under $200. most folks i know would spend $150 in a heartbeat on a piece of art that they really loved. and i know some broke bitches.

Thanks, doodle. I had already decided to sell unframed since I'd finished all the edges. Thanks so much for your input!
Changed a bit since yesterday... Haven't worked that much today. Last edited by pinkie; 05-01-2006 at 09:13 PM.. |
