Each year before a show or plein air event, I spend days getting ready For the Chadds Ford show, we spent time selecting the original watercolors, the giclees reproductions to be just matted or framed, printing some new giclees and even painting some new small watercolors. http://cfes.ucfsd.org/artshow/
The experience of painting at the Kuerner Farm over the past year gave me the opportunity to sit outside and paint on the iconic farmstead sitting in the same grass or the driveway where Andrew Wyeth painted. Here is where I sat to paint a watercolor that will be in the show call "Anna's Gate" named after Karl Kuerner III's grandmother.
This past week I found an older photo of one of the first times we exhibited my paintings at a show. It was at the Granite Run Mall and I made my display with peg board. This was photo is of the third year I exhibited and see if you know the year? My son Mark was looking through my small box of matted Christmas cards.

Then we put up a screen in our home so I can judge where to put the paintings and how many I can bring. Sometimes this takes awhile as we want to pick the paintings that fit the Chester county area and yet enough variety to ensure people v the opportunity to pick up a small $ 20 reproduction or an original for from $ 40 to $ 475. So if you stop by be sure to tell me you saw this blog.
So here is a view of how we set up a screen in our home to figure out how many paintings to bring and how to hand them. You can see "Anna's Gate" on the top of the screen. This year we have a great selection of originals and framed prints.
LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ON FRIDAY EVENING OR SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
