Marnie's Art : Framing ideas
http://marniesart.blogspot.com/p/framing.html
When framing a small painting it is important to do it in a way that doesn't crop the edges of the painting. The most common framing methods will do this, making the painting appear even smaller, so here are 2 variations of a simple float frame for you to consider. This method is suitable for small paintings on wood panels (as opposed to works on canvas which might need a different approach). If you live on the Central Coast of NSW you could pop down to see Josh and Kathy at:. Berkeley Vale, NSW 22261.

Marnie's Art : Bio
http://marniesart.blogspot.com/p/bio.html
I'm firmly convinced that my purpose in life is to create works of art. When I was 10 my prize possession was a box of 72 derwent pencils that I got for my birthday. I still have them in various states of length and usability! For many years of my life I tried to walk the road of convention, to my own detriment. It wasn't until I was 37 and working as a graphic designer without inward satisfaction or contentment, that I decided if I was ever going to be happy I would have to start painting. Painting in o...

Marnie's Art : July 2013
http://marniesart.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, 14 July 2013. It may take a bit to get used to everyone speaking english and which side the passenger sits in the car, the lack of architectural wonders and the long distances between Things of Interest, but it's taken no time at all to readjust to the fresh air, eucalyptus trees full of lorikeets and kookaburras and the warm sunny winter days. I know I've settled in somewhere when I've organised myself and surrounds enough to get painting. Relief! PS I went to the NSW art gallery the other day a...

Sunday, 26 May 2013. Must be time to start counting the sleeps). What have I been up to since my last post? Some of the things I've done during the past 5 months that have whipped by since Christmas. I visited one of the oldest pharmacies in the world (opened in 1221); I saw my first river rat along the banks of the Arno after secretly thinking they might be an urban myth. they do exist; I learned to knit! I'm presuming this will be my last post until I'm back in oz. I do plan to take up blogging mor...

Marnie's Art : Ruby the Chihuahua
http://marniesart.blogspot.com/2013/09/ruby-chihuahua.html
Wednesday, 25 September 2013. This is a commissioned painting of Ruby who I met and photographed last weekend. She's a friendly non-yappy sort of chihauhua and I enjoyed her company thoroughly. Of all the photos I took only one turned out really well because of her propensity to squint, but the good one was just perfect. Here's a time lapse video of the painting in progress:. 8220;Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”. Labels: 8x8 oil on panel. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
