From the Studio: Photo of the Week, plus update.

 

 

Photo of the Week: Sketch Book Kitty - Sept 2, 2012.

 

-------------------------

 

Shadow,

aka 'She-Sho'

much like her namesake

is always close-by, 

no matter where

or what I'm doing,

she's Shadow!

 

Good thing I don't need to use the

sketch book at the moment.

 

--------

 

Production at the easel 

has been slow, but steady

and the paint supply

is getting a bit low

so, an order will be made

later this week.

 

Right now, in the studio

there are 2 Binocular paintings

being packaged up for shipment 

also for later this week bound 

for the Sylvan Gallery.

up in Maine.

 

 

 

I'm using a very simple and cost effective

technique for shipping the paintings.

 

Normally I use 

DOW 4'x8',1", blue foam insulation,

which is cleaner when cutting

and is a bit harder for impact,

and since time is of the essence,

I'm using a slightly different foam.

 

The paintings

are wrapped in shrink wrap,

stacked face to face with

a cardboard spacer,

then sheathed with the foam

held together with yards

of heavy duty packing tape, 

and

then a heavy duty cardboard skin

is made for extra measure along with

more yards of heavy duty packing tape.

 

This packing technique takes a while to do

but, it's super compact, very light weight

and overall very effective

for shipping larger paintings.

 

And speaking of which

I need to get into the studio

and

finish packing the paintings!

 

Stay tuned!
