New Work
I did this little drawing last Sunday. It is five by seven inches. It is a watercolor and pen and ink drawing. I cut the mat for it and assembled the frame. Sometimes I cut the glass. This time a friend who is a picture framer gave me a good deal on five by seven glass. Many years ago I worked for her and she taught me to cut mats, cut glass, assemble frames and do T-hinges. Everything I needed to assemble my own artwork. She supplied the matboard for this picture, it is Ph neutral.. My paints are Winsor & Newton watercolors. My watercolor paper is Arches. The tape I use to make my T-hinges is Ph neutral. The picture, God willing, will last a lifetime. I use a Rapidograph pen by Koh-I-Noor. It is a #0. Recently someone suggested that I donate my work to various organizations to allow them to use them as they see fit. I used to sell my work for a short period but the shop went out of business.
