"Bag It, Tag It...

Sell it to the butcher in the store."  I can't help singing that Phish song when I'm baggin' and taggin' artwork.  Its so catchy.  And appropriate.  It helps you work if you sing.

This guy is different from the others.  I thought I'd shake things up.

 I put this one in the white frame with a taupe mat and its making me quite happy.

These two costumed crazies evolved into a Court Street fantasy scene.

Is it wrong that I want it to go in this dusty old broken frame in the worst way?

details.

Framing paintings, painting paintings, tagging paintings, inventorying paintings, delivering paintings, all of it is keeping me hopping.  So, when our neighbor gave me these peppers I knew we needed soup.  White Chicken Chili.

Somehow I couldn't bring myself to chop them up without taking a bunch of photos of them.  They're so pretty.

There was work to be done and we need to eat, so I did it, I chopped them up.  Its ok though, I still have photos.

Back to the grind, framing.

Naturally this guy got a baby pink frame.

No frame required here.

This is a kind of weird frame to put a watercolour in, but when I tried it I liked it.

Same with this one.

Packing them up is bittersweet.  I didn't even get to live with these guys for one little New York minute to see if I even liked them.  But its nice to have a basket of fresh paintings to go out into the world.

Here's a Wayne Tree, framed in turquoise.

The whole time I was working this was happening.  She was with me emotionally though, I could feel it.

I put Three Feathers in a yellow frame and I'm not sure about it.  Oh well, too late!  Its out there.

Driving to the gallery there were wild turkeys in my tunnel, always a nice sight. I do wish, however, that there would have been time for a much more pleasing photo but this one will have to do I suppose.

I still have to decide if and how to frame these crazies.

Sometimes I don't want to frame my paper pieces.  I just want to stick a thumb tack through it on the wall and be done with it.  I'm tired of all these rules of framing and art show stipulations and gallery etiquette.  Thumb tacks I say. Good enough!
