Yesterday I worked on framing another completed photo transfer. It is one of a rose bush my husband and I purchased in memory of my brother Joey. It's called "Just Joey". The rose is a beautiful peach/pink color. The finalized transfer / water color image is more of a deeper peach - verging on orange. I just happened to have a frame in stock that is silver and black, thin wood frame with a mat, and I added a second mat around the actual painting. The frame was a perfect match for it! I've posted the original photo and the painting. And I just want to say this is NOT how you photograph artwork. I photographed it already framed, and that's a definite no-no.
Today I need to head out and pick up another frame for the other transfer. Hopefully, I can get this completed to get on over to the Blue Moon Gallery to trade out two gelatin silver prints that have been there (and not sold!) since February of this year. Bummer. That particular gallery is geared more to the painters of the art world. Those are the types of artwork that sell there. So, hence the change out!
I haven't made it into the darkroom yet - I have so much to do before I leave on my European trip! I did purchase an external hard drive, loaded it, and have been painstakingly dealing with the addition of the new program to my PC!! Ai, yi, yi!! If you know what I mean. My PC is 6 years old and that is apparently old in the fast world of technology. But I'm not upgrading! Not now.
I did hear from my sister-in-law in regards to the old negatives I scanned for her and put on disk. She loved them!!
