River Triptych

River Triptych. Oil on Linen Panels. 9" x 21".
This is a small triptych I painted for a holiday show at the Roby King Galleries. The opening of the show is this Friday so if you're in the Bainbridge/Seattle area - head on over!

What's that you ask? Where did I get that beautiful frame? It's made to order by Mountain Edge Frames, click here for their website.  They make amazing frames. I have another one I love even more that I'll share with you later this week.

You've inspired me to try the triptych, Lisa. Yours is so beautiful. What is the size of each panel, please?

What a great painting set! I've always liked landscape diptych and triptychs, and this is a perfect example of why.

The framing really complements the painting; I can see why you like the frame company so much.

Wow - thanks all! I confess to a bit of anxiety about this painting. Painting a triptych was challenging as I wanted to make sure each panel could stand alone as an image. I knew the frame would be eye catching and hoped the panels would be even more so.

Janelle - the side panels are 9" high x 6" wide and the middle one is 9" x 9". Steve can make them any size of course and I'd like to do one a little larger. This was designed for a holiday show and needed to be small.

My favorite love poem - West Wind 2 by Mary Oliver

Image
for Dan on Valentine's Day West Wind 2 by Mary Oliver You are young. So you know everything. You leap into the boat and begin rowing. But, listen to me. Without fanfare, without embarrassment, without any doubt, I talk directly to your soul. Listen to me. Lift the oars from the water, let your arms rest, and your heart, and your heart's little intelligence, and listen to  me. There is life without love. It is not worth a bent penny, or a scuffed shoe. It is not worth the body of a  dead dog nine days unburied. When you hear, a mile away and still out of sight, the churn of the water as it begins to swirl and roil, fretting around the sharp rocks --- when you feel the mist on your mouth and sense ahead the embattlement, the long falls plunging and steaming---then row, row for your life toward it. Still Waters. ©2010. Lisa McShane.

My favorite art inventory system

Image
Over the past couple of years I've looked at and played with a lot of computer programs for keeping track of artwork. Here are past blog posts on the subject: Art Inventory Systems, here's what I've tried and then this Update on Art Inventory Systems Alyson Stanfield has also written about this riveting subject on her great blog here . I come to these systems with built-in bias. I prefer a FileMaker based system to an Access based system because I think it's a more powerful and smoother software to use. I'd worked for a nonprofit that used Filemaker and it's what I know. I also prefer a system without goofy graphics. I'm an artist. I care how things look. If I open up software every couple of days I would like it to be clean and simple and not ugly. But computers evolve and the next direction is to the cloud. That is a system where software doesn't live on your computer but you access it via the internet. I operate on 3 devices: my iMac in my ...
