State Botanical Gardens of Georgia Exhibit

These are from the day that I hung my paintings at the Botanical Gardens of Georgia (October 22nd, 09) The hanging system they have installed makes the pieces go up very quick. Charles warnock was kind enough to give me a hand as he'd shown there three times in the last 8 years.

 

The painting in the center (Sheltered Grazing) drew a comment from a passerby, she asked if it was a painting and photograph collage? I try really hard to make the light as "correct" as I can in my landscapes. Still, I don't want them to look like photographs. Nonetheless, I know it's a compliment when people they say that.

The foyer, where the pieces are hung, allow a lot of natural light in. They installed several new lights in time for this show, bu the best thing was getting to see them in natural sunlight. I was able to use the same float frame on all the pieces which gives it a lot of cohesion. I've never done this before, but will continue to do this as much as possible. I really liked the look.
