Yet another series using the 8" by 8" gesso board panels. These have a 2" cradle which allows them to stand off the wall like my other larger paintings. The cradle is painted black and these designs do not go over the edge. Bottom to top you have Desire, Delight, and Dream. What I find very exciting about this set is that they can be displayed in a horizontal format or vertical and..they look great by themselves as well. It took some time, but I finally figured out that no matter how I design it someone wanted to hang it another way..now I'm planning on that and attempting to make them look"natural" from all directions. My plan is have them in the new abstract show at Gallery by the Bay in January...we'll see what the jurors say!! Until then I get to look at them...Desie is my fave!!
