Preparing Entries For A Show

Entries for Palette & Brush Club

Hi!

Remember those three upcoming shows I was telling you about? The hardest part of preparing to show was deciding which pieces to enter in which show. I finally settled on these three for my first opportunity with Palette & Brush Club of SE Michigan.

Technically, I could have just painted the sides, as that is allowed for deep edge canvases and panels. But I felt that they looked so much more finished with frames.

As I've said before, black frames seem a best-fit color for my work. But then I found one that had just the right amount of weathered turquoise to go with "Squash Seeds" (middle). In fact, I think I'll order more of these for some other work that has a similar background color.

I should know by next weekend whether any of these made it into the show or not. If any do, then you're of course invited to the opening. More details to come.

Now about the Valentine Giveaway....

Mini Giveaway painting choices, Valentine's Day 2022

A really funny thing happened when I pulled names for the Valentine Giveaway. I had decided to pull three names this time instead of just one....Just because I can!

So when I emailed each person to ask which one they wanted, I did so in the same order that their names were pulled. First person had first choice of course. The second person was asked to choose an alternate in case the first person chose the same one. Then the third person was asked to give two alternates, just in case.

Now this next is really weird. They ALL chose the same one as their first choice. Persons two and three BOTH chose the same alternates.

Can you guess which was first, second, and third choice? I was quite surprised and very amused.

But then,...I AM easily entertained.

Wish me well and have a terrific week!
