Sick with the flu (boo)

Been out of the studio the past few days with the flu. I have a pretty mild case from what I can tell – but I am not in a state to use a very sharp instrument. Hoping to get back in on Friday.

020909 – more framing

I got another 12 matted prints into frames. I only got backing board and points into half of those. I did not have the urge to use the mat cutter – so those 6 will get finished off tomorrow. With these I now have a framed a grand total of 96 pieces in 2009 so far. I had intended to get PinUp in a frame, but again no urge to use the mat cutter. Tomorrow I am hoping to do it.

020609 – Toe shoes

{click image for a larger version} So I took a break from framing to get this piece done. This has been on my “idea wall” for several months now and I am very happy to have done it. I wish the colors on screen could do this justice – the neons make me smile.

– UPDATED 042609 – Posting this for the theme of “Theater” for Illustration Friday.

020609 – Illustration Friday “Time”

{click for a larger image} I am surprised that I had not posted this piece yet. Though when I saw the Illustration Friday theme of “Time” and I thought of this work. This week I entered the world of facebook and I started to think back to when I first started using the web and my first website and am amazed with how much has happened in such a short period of time. Were things easier without email and “social networking?”

This is an older piece I did in 2006 – this is part of the Masters series I did recreating several master works in order to practice some new techniques.

8″x 10″:: $350 framed original piece (16″ x 20″ frame w/ UV glass)

Email for availability and payment directions or for more information – like larger and more detailed images.

020409 – I started a new work

So I decided to take a break from framing to start (and hopefully complete) a new work. This was a piece I was hoping to do last year – but got a bit burnt out completing PinUp1, so put this on the back burner. I did not get as much done today as I had hoped for – but I am happy with it.

So this is what I have completed thus far on top of the drawing I made of the piece. Also this is the answer to my status fill-in the blank on facebook.

020209 – More framing

So I got 15 of the matted prints into frames today. I am making progress towards having everything framed. I think the show will be postponed and not be happening in March and I am thinking I might take a break this week and just start a new artwork. I am torn between the feeling of having everything done or the feeling of completing a new piece….

020109 – more mats cut

Today I cut 13 mats and got the prints inside and ready to be inserted into frames. I have about a dozen prints left needing mats cut. These remaining pieces are a bit complicated with cutting mats due to odd shapes coming outside of the “box” and I am bringing in a pro to help me get the measurements correct. Now I will still be doing the work, but I have a consultation first. This will not be happening for about a week, so if things go well I may get a chance to work on an actual artwork this week.

Also I caved and have signed up for facebook – so if anyone is interested you can find me by my actual name “Sherill Anne Gross”
