One of the items I got at our church rummage sale last week was a pair of sconces. I had a frame that I thought would be a good companion piece so I decided to do a matching set. Here is a photo of the 3 items together.
I am now second guessing my choice of subject matter. Yes, I do think the flowers and grapes look good together but I'm thinking of of breaking up the set and selling the painting as is and redoing the sconces. Since I sell more southwest themed items than anything else I am thinking of painting the sconces black and doing either a saguaro or a string of chili peppers on them. Before I do that I will put them in the SAAG Gallery as a set and see what happens. If they don't sell in a few weeks I'll bring the sconces home and redo them.
I have a new commission for a painting that I would like to get done this week and I have a few more functional items I want to have for the next session at the gallery which starts on April 1. I have back to back company coming soon so I have to get as much painting done this week as possible. I better head for the shop and get started right now.
