enna Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 There are so many art pieces that if I'm a high bidder I'll need a truck to carry out my choices. I love the hibiscus, Laura. The browns in the framing are perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the hibiscus, Laura. The browns in the framing are perfect. I'm glad you like it. I agree about the browns. I would have never done that since for me it's all color color color, but it looks great. It's interesting how people see things differently. Steve's framing is so elegant-it's really amazing. I learned how to cut a double mat and put it in a simple frame when I first learned to do watercolors. The teacher thought we ought to be able to mat and frame our work, and it has served me well, but I never got past that. All of my framing is the same. I have had solo shows of my work and framed all of it, but none of my paintings have ever been in anything as elegant as this! It's very cool to see what a pro can do... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KATPILOT Posted September 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 I got the gicle back today Patty and I will be stretching it tomorrow. It is the same size as the original and came out pretty darn good. We hang the show next Saturday and I will take a lot of pictures. Janie has the event on her website's calendar and Mark is sending out the evites one week before the show. His experience is that more people come when they have less time to forget about the shows. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyT Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Ooooooo, I love it, too, Steve. I'm so happy for Patty that you've made a print of the original. What are its dimensions? This gets more exciting with each passing day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATPILOT Posted September 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Marty the dimensions are 24 x 30 inches and the picture is from my cell phone for my camera tanked today so the colors are brighter than the picture shows. I think the printer did a great job but we shall see if the artist approves when she sees it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gin Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 I had to look up gicle. Not very educated in art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATPILOT Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Spell check hasn't even caught up with it yet. The guys at the Cattletrack art compound have so many diverse talents. Carl who does the printing is taking care of two children and a newborn as well. He did an amazing job. I am thinking of displaying them together and not framing the gicle. When people see it next to the original, they will be amazed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 The word gicle'e (pronounced jee-clay) is a French word meaning "fine spray". The Louvre Museum in France utilizes gicle'es when certain original paintings are too fragile for public display. Gicle'es are the highest quality reproductions attainable.

KATPILOT Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Thank you Kay. What is making them so popular in fine arts is due to the improvements in quality of digital photography and the quality of printers that can reproduce them on canvass as well as paper. My contribution to the auction. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KATPILOT Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Thanks. I crumble up aluminum foil to make the shape and then use plaster bandages to form the covering. The last time I made one of these was when the movie came out in 1968.. I used paper mache' back then. I did one of my airplane. What do think Laura? Did I get it right? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patty65 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 When my daughter Catherine was 9, she had "Historic Halloween" at her Montessori school. She wanted to be Jane Goodall. So, going too far as usual, we made a life-sized chimp out of paper mache, lol. I sent pictures to Jane Goodall. She wrote back! I have it somewhere.... Someday I'll find my way back to my art therapy... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested to hear what you have done with art therapy. I have had some involvement with it, but not too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patty65 Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Yes, she is... This life is such an intense journey. The right is at the service, when my friend was playing "Anticipation" the song that spontaneously played by itself on Day 3. She is the love in my heart that keeps me going through this now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KATPILOT Posted September 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Just finished hanging the gallery and all 70 pieces fit in. Ceramic and other table art pieces will go out just bore the show as they have walk through traffic and the tables are not going out till then. Not everything is shown but this is the majority of it. I will try and take some more shots soon. The invitations go out next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayc Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Unbelievable! It's neat to recognize a piece and remember who did it. You did such a fabulous job, Steve, It's amazing. You have spent countless hours and money putting this together. I hope each and every piece sells! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
