"Staging" ($30.00)




















(adjusted price....$30.00)

"Contrasting one thing with another could be called the fine art of staging." In today's housing market, it is "trendy" to hire an interior designer to come in and tell you what needs to go and what needs to stay. The goal is to help you receive top dollar for the sale of your house. It's a very descriptive word that has a similar meaning to the word "edit". We can enrich this thought of staging by thinking about other areas of life that need staging. What would you like to "stage" today?

In the first layer of this piece...random lines were placed on blank paper. A few of those lines were created with Moon Palace Ink and a pointed pen. Gesso was applied randomly in different thicknesses. After all of that dried...paint was applied.

At this point, the real creativity begins. Because the colors are so luminous with lots of texture, I made the decision to use the black line from the first layer as a starting point. The black "notan" like flowers and varying lines at the bottom were added. Suddenly, the piece became grounded. The same thing happens when black is added to a very colorful room. It's a grounding color that can be used to stabilize and bring order to a design. Just something to think about.

Please contact me personally to inquire about this piece.
