Being in process of moving my home and studio I have placed some 300 paintings into a climate controlled storage unit. The above pieces had been at the bottom/back of stacks for years. They were an early series I did back in the late 80's and needed cleaning, repair and some light! My image keeping records of them were still on slides! It was early work I had done using beeswax and natural pigment. The series of seven were a sequential of my crossing the Hudson River in New York State in my canoe from the West bank of the great river near Albany, NY crossing to the East bank into a little cove. Four of the seven were sold to a collector back at that time. Old friends!
In meeting the time limit to place them in the "Artist Choice Show" a quick repair was necessary. Person(s) interested in purchasing one/two/them can choose to keep them in the frames I made for them originally and I will take them to my framers PattersonBehm in Wilmington, NC and I will cover the costs, or buyer/collector(s) can have them reframed at their own expense.
I placed glazier points to keep the backing secure while hanging in the gallery, scraped some old paint and wax off the tung oiled White Oak frames, blew the dust away and washed the glass with organic distilled white vinegar to chase away the dark and let the light in, and took them to the gallery.
Hope to see you Friday nite!
