Sending Two
”At The Cliff’s Edge” is also getting ready to head down to the Sears Invitational in St, George. This is a watercolor that has a varnish for the finish. With this kind of a finish, the painting was framed with no glass. You have to think about the painting you are doing and how it’s going to look framed. Some paintings work with the varnish. There is no glass between you and the painting but other paintings like the flowers from last week will look better with a mat and glass. You have to decide which will be better for the painting and frame them in the best way.
It’s like that with the painting also. Before you start on a painting you have a picture in your mind how it will turn out. As you dive into the work the direction of the painting can change. That’s what makes each painting an adventure.
