Signed, sealed,
delivered ...
Buying a signed piece of original art is your assurance
that it's an original piece of art and not a print. Adding my signature to a
painting is like adding a stamp that says "finished. It shows that I'm satisfied
with the painting and no longer consider it a work in progress. Some artists
prefer signing the front of their artwork, or even hiding their signature in the
painting itself. I've been signing all my paintings on the back of the canvas
-- I've always felt that signing the front of the canvas creates and imbalance
in the painting.
That being
said, I've been debating this issue ever since I started painting. It took one
client to really make me change my mind. She literally begged me to sign
the front of her commissioned painting. Seeing as I'm such a softie (don't ask
my wife!), I've decided to take the plunge and started signing the fronts of my
paintings. I'm not completely used to it yet, but I have a lifetime to get
there.
On a completely
different subject, I'm in the process of building a new home -- which means a
new studio. Keep an eye out for future newsletters to see pictures of the
progress...
Happy June !!!
