framed art review (pt 1 of 3)

Here is a review of what I have left that is currently framed. Each of these pieces is $125 until the new year. After that, I'll put them up on Ebay with a $125 reserve price (shipping extra) to see what happens. Prices are going up after that.

everything on this page is a monotype with an image size of 5"x7" printed on all rag paper.

Allan Stone

I never met Allan Stone, but I have known his daughter from kayaking for a few years now.
I had the pleasure of visiting his house this past summer, and was completely blown away at the sheer volume of quality work that hangs all over the place. Jessie had to just leave me alone because I was so tranced out by it all.
(As a side note: my absolute favorite Wayne Theibault piece is in that house.)

I'm sure that there are other collectors and dealers as compulsively obsessive as Mr. Stone, (at least I'm hoping so) and more who decide to make collection a large part of their life, simply for the sheer joy of having art pass through their hands and becoming involved in the greater art world.

I never got to know the man, but I have felt his impact and am happy that he was here.

all framed up

I got my frames in (finally) and made up some extra pieces. Most work looks much more finished in frames so I thought I'd share....

This is watercolor is 6"x12" unframed and the framed size is 12" x 18"




This is actually an etching based on two intersecting waterfalls. I takes lots of inspiration from Japanese wood block prints.
The framed size is about 17" x 19"




This etching is one of my favorites. Lots of white, empty space left as a means to signify the unknown, uncertainty. The white is like the sky: something into which we launch ourselves but cannot stay. How many times do we look up to the sky and ask "what if?".
The 2-part pieces is just the beginning of a sequence of a twisting launch skyward, starting in the flat realm then lifting upward while flipping.
Each frame is 15"x22"
