stored artwork...
Sorry Kat- painting 70 plus hours a week; not much time to "thread" & such.
Well-I dont know if you mean selling some paintings or--? It would be a good time to clean them depending on medium-(for method)
The humidity needs to stay consistent--I use Williamsburg oils & belgian linen for archival peices--like portrait work//& special order proper stectcher bars & canvas so it's properply primed---I'd have to see the work if it's in need of repair or maintence.
Hopefully they were done using quality materials--if you guarentee your work & buy the wrong canvases or paint --it's a good way to :
1. Dissapoint people who trust you
2. Get to re-work or re-streatch works you did 5-10 years ago.
Keep them as close to 90* as possible//hang them if possible & so forth.
As this art sharing thread got bumped into "goods & services"--sell them here//or start a more popular thread.
I was bored & decided to talk about some of the diverse things I've seen as people obviously know I paint full time & the work is posted here & on Flickr--
I set it up so my name is the key search for my art.
I do more in person; coustom--Not much at instant messaging-although it's great fun to meet interesting folks with different perspectives.
You are a big fan of the pre-Raphaelites...(JW Waterhouse) etc, I would think you'd love the work of alma-tadema....hjis work is pretty amazing considering the sizes most were painted---20 figures in a Roman or pompeii "bath" with marble thru-out at 9 x 16 & such.....amazing.
I think Circe & 'ophelia' are two of my favorite Waterhouse paints--along with most "keyhole" compositions he did--such as 'Hylas & the Nymphs'
I hope you have room for your collection--Robin decorates & Owned a Gallery //so she'd really be the one to show you how groupings work--an art in itself.
If we do a home or get into "set design" which includes works on canvas coupled with murals--she always has 4-5 solutiona//all of which look great.
She revolves our permanent collection of my work-hers & her father; the Duke proffessor you can view on the web--Robert Maurice Broderson---Pretty famous in his time...still so to the people who know & collect his work.
We store alot of those!!!--Alot of paintings up here!
If I didnt answer you Question email or call me.
