Here are two 8X10 Classic Desert Scenes that I completed today. After finishing these this morning I decided to apply the polycrylic. If you read the last couple of posts you know that I don't like the job of applying the polycrylic. Usually I wait until I have a number of projects done then take a day and apply the polycrylic on them together.
This time I thought of how much easier it would be to just have 2 paintings to finish off and I was right. It was much easier and only took a short time to complete the nasty but necessary job. Once the finishing coats were dry I was able to put them in the frames and take a photo of them. I did have something happen that had never happened before. While shooting in the framer points one of the frames came apart. It was beyond repair so I had to come up with another frame. I did not have one that matched exactly the frame that the other painting is in so had to use one that is slightly different. Usually I paint these scenes in sets with matching frames. In most cases they sell individually but sometimes the customer wants a matching pair. In looking through the 8X10 frames I have in stock I discovered that I don't have any matching sets. That has never happened before either. Oh well, that is okay since I have a good supply of really nice wider molding 8X10 frames. I'll spend the next few months creating paintings for these frames to sell at the Sun City Art Fair in November.
