We grow

While hosting people here, we understood that the exposition is not spaciously enough. Some pieces, which we considered as good ones, got completely “lost”. For giving them attention that they deserve we should to build additional space. Also we are continuing  painting and new pictures are drying in unconventional places. We have a small room that connected to studio and its location is all right, but it was used as a storage for years. Could we convert it into exhibition hall in some days (between visits)? It’s a big question. OMG..
But it seems to me, there are not other options – if we don’t want to cut off an amount of pictures (it’s abnormal, btw. Usually artist shows up to 20 pieces at once) – then we must do!

Breath of fresh air


I enjoyed the exhibition very much - it was like a breath of fresh air.
Highly recommended !
Good luck!

The Exhibition


Exhibition is running well.
We love to see people coming and we learn a lot from our guests.Their opinion is quite important.
Charlie sais: " I loved the light shining inside of microcosmoses and caressing brush-touches – with no anger, stress or meaning; soft and fresh colors, harmony of light, color and form. This exhibition is real gourmet!”

The little yellow ducks were posing for few pictures; you could find them below in earlier posts. The story says, that these rubber ducks only look tiny; they are real fighters and brave-heart buddies. They crack nuts with strength of their sights only. I doubt you can repeat after them!

Here is tomato-theme comes again. You can call it "tomato-serial". Pictures were updated all together, but they were painted during few days. One big tomato-family was kindly posing.
Why it feels like I'm talking about portraits of Sicilian family?

These tomatos are like scattering beads - aren't them?
I love smoothness and roundness of tomatos, love that they are so pure and rustic, uncomplicated and casual. Simple red, natural sweetness + I love the smell of tomato plant leaves!

Another open day at Monday


Exhibition is keeping us pretty busy. Even it opened for public only few times a week - for two of us it's full-time job. We are still uploading, changing, framing, advertising, inviting, checking additional channels to promote, as well we are holding, managing, entertaining, treating, and keeping the place clean. Once we are committed to run an exhibition ourselves - the success of this business (oh yea, it's definitely business!) depends of our abilities, skills and motivation. It’s hard, but no complains – I love it and love to see people coming!

So excited about the coming exibition!


We begun with sorting and planning – how we want it look.
We are going to show not in the gallery but directly in our studio. I also hope to open a workshop during the exhibition time. We have zero experience as a galleriests and it’s new and exciting experiment.
Running the exhibition by ourselves has tons of difficulties (especially at fact that we are new in it) but the main trouble is publicity. It’s clear for us that we have neither public relations nor necessary skills to run an advertising campaign to compare to professional galleriests.

But there are advantages (my place = my rules)
When running at exhibition in our place we have all the freedom to compose pictures at their best appearance, to doubt, and to change the exposition numerous times. We have flexible schedule and could keep it longer. Also we can show in additional days and hours. We plan continue painting also during the exhibiton, so, I guess we would recompose and enlarge it on the way. The biggest advantage is the direct contact with visitors.

Oil paintings drying


When oil painting is done it should to dry for a while.
Here is our "drying-machine".

Here is Good News: we are going to open an exhibition!

TO TURN BAD INTO GOOD
Where would I begin?
Once upon a time … actually, in 2009, we found ourselves stuck at home for lo-o-o-ong few months for very unwelcome reasons. Even the nearest future was not clear. We used to manage unsettled and full of movement life for years and these new circumstances were very fatiguing.

Fortunately we had a “duck soup“ solution to stay solid - painting . Soon we found ourselves creating one small painting a day. We weren’t new in this business – both of us are into arts from childhood, and we always kept painting, but never did it so intensive! An idea of daily painting fitted us like a glove.

I have to admit that daily painting is great experience! Daily practice gives impressive results – progress is visible and touchable. You are growing up with every canvas and it is amazing feeling. We successes to turn our disadvantage into advantage - prolonged workshop, and it was great!
Such intensive production of still-lifes leaded to gathering of numerous pictures (most of them of similar format and media). They look well all together and in fact they wanted to be shown.

Here is The Good News: we are going to open an exhibition!

Daily workshop

Today we did a morning workshop here, in our studio. It is not huge, but spaciously enough to contain 5-6 students inside. Also we have a fabulous day light during all the day – from two (opposite) windows in the studio. One side (East) is fully lighted at the morning, and afternoon it becomes softer, and at another side (West) has steady light during all the day, but getting strongly illuminated for a few hours afternoon – that makes dramatic shadows and fabulous reflections everywhere.

It was a very small group today and it allowed to everyone to concentrate on own progress in work. At my side – I was glad to be able to give personal attention to everybody, to support and to help them – like it was a private lesson. Very peaceful day!
