As exciting as it is to get a piece juried into an exhibition, I dread the next step. Packing and shipping. It's different than merely sending a painting off to a new home because exhibition pieces are framed and wired for hanging, and the packaging must be such that it accommodates a return trip home. Today I built boxes to house three pieces headed to Kansas for next month's 25th Annual Art Show at the Dog Show. I photographed them in their finest (see above, below, and a little further beyond that), labeled them according to the event's instructions, and delivered them to the shipper. Now I'd like to get to the easel and distract myself from thinking about their road trip, but there's a few days worth of emails that deserve my attention first. And I've got to start a pot of chili. It probably wouldn't hurt, either, to get out (with the kids) and spend some time deep cleaning the bunny hutch, since the temperature is above freezing. I'm sure they'd appreciate that (Lily and Clover, that is, not necessarily the kids!). If you are interested, notecards can be ordered of any or all of my 2011 Art Show at the Dog Show pieces here. I'll make prints available once the originals sell. Thanks so very much for following along with my artwork! Kim ![]()

What a wonderful blog with beautiful paintings of dogs. You are talented:) Will come back and visit again. We just lost our sport model Bichon with complications from epilepsy. Love the eyes on the dogs that I saw. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteKathy, thank you so very much - I am really sad to hear about your dog. I hope that you find joy in memories, though. You are welcome back anytime and let me know if you have any questions! :)
ReplyDeleteJe souhaite un excellent voyage à l'ensemble de vos toiles... En ce qui concerne les cadres,, je suis tout à fait d'accord avec vous. j'essaie au mieux d'éviter des dépenses inutiles et surtout du gaspillage. Je fabrique moi-même mes cadres, et c'est une dure labeur! mais si parfois au fil du temps certains s'endommagent je m'arrange pour les recouper, recoller et les rendre à nouveau beaux!
ReplyDeleteJe suis toujours une fan de vos peintures qui ne manquent pas de puissance tant en couleur que par la générosité et l'amour des animaux...
gros bisous
Martine, I wish my french was good enough for me to respond - I'd love to paint alongside you one day, and I can share my color tips and you can coach me en Francaise!! :)
