I thought I'd share some of the progress in these weeks leading up to the big show. I just took some photos of the frames I have finished so far, with the corresponding paintings in them. In some cases, the frame competes a bit with the picture, so I'll use the next few weeks to close that gap, be it by toning down, or aging the metallic highlights of the frame, or by adding a few more sweet spots to the paintings. Many of them are only about 80 or 90 per cent done, and as is the case with anything, it's that last bit of attention that truly makes a thing shine. So I'll be swinging the small brush for the final stretch before the exhibition.
Until then, I'll post one picture or so every few days, beginning with the oldest.
Here's the second one of the original tentacle series (the frame for the first one took forever to dry, so I completed this one first:
The frame is a bit rough around the edges, but I'm very satisfied with how the shape fits the image.
