Small-Art Compendium

If you are in the area, please head on down to Abend Gallery for their annual holiday miniature show beginning December 2, 2011. It's one of my favorite shows of the year and a great opportunity to acquire wonderful small artworks by an incredibly diverse group of artists. My work has also been included in the December issue of American Art Collector as one of the featured artists for the show (page 163). As soon as I get a photo or a PDF, I'll post it.

: : Viewing them framed is such a different experience, me thinks. Every once in awhile I like to experiment with virtual frames to see the pieces in a new way. Interesting exercise. At this point, I'm liking the idea of a white, simple frame with a contemporary feel. The frame samples shown are not quite exact but give me a general idea. Anyhoo...one day I may actually frame them and I'll have a headstart on what the final artwork could look like. : : : : If you want to experiment with seeing your art in a different frames, click here  HERE  .
