Smaller Groupings

Thank you all so much for your input on the Shapes pieces!  I agree, and so does the gallery director, that they will work better in smaller groupings.  She suggested just two groupings of four.  Here is what I have in mind:


I have a lot of pieces to choose from, but I think these groupings work pretty well.  I may switch out individual pieces.  The will be mounted on 10"x10" cradled wood panel, 1.5" deep.  In the above arrangements, they are spaced 3.5" apart.  Any suggestions?

I will be teaching this technique using the gel plate with masks and stencils, at Art and Soul next March in Kansas City.  Take a look at my offerings at Art and Soul this October in Portland!

Thanks again for all your input and encouragement on this new work.

  3. I like this much better, Jane. I do have a suggestion- the bottom 4- when I squint I see 2 darker ones on the left side. What if you put one of the ones on the left, on the right. Might be more balanced like the one above. I don't know if that is constructive or this is the way you want them. Either way, I love your work and good luck with your show.

  6. I really like the groupings of four (which are great in and of themselves). Have you considered trying out the palest of pale green on the background? The white seems very harsh.

    1. These will be directly on a wall, so I won't have control over the color. But I love the idea!

  7. Very interesting and different series Jane. I like them a lot.

    Today I received No. 2 and No. 5 prints from your Fresh Paint series and I love them!
    Am rushing out right now to get frames. Thank you so much for making these wonderful paintings available in such a nice variety of sizes and even cards.

    Still sending postcards!

    1. Oh, THANK YOU for buying prints! And thanks for the continued post cards. It all COUNTS and makes a difference in the profile of our little PO. With luck (we'll know next January, at the earliest) it will make them KEEP IT OPEN.

  9. You are going to WOW them, they look fantastic. The groupings of four pieces will have a visual impact in a gallery space. I hope you post some pics. I can't wait to sign up for this workshop at Art & Soul in Kansas City next year. What will be your other offerings?

    1. Oh, FABULOUS! Can I come a day early and get a tour of the Nelson-Atkins?? I think the dates are March 20 - 23. I am teaching: Layering with Transparencies, Masks and Stencils (this is the one with the gel plate and shapes), Abstract Landscape; and evenings: The Art of the Postcard, Textures and Layers, and Mini-Collage. It's not written in stone until it goes up on the web site, but this is what we're thinking for now. THANKS!

  11. Wow - these are so wonderfully simple yet bold with such rich and luscious colors and shapes. I can't wait to return from the land of graduations and get my gelli plate going again. Not to mention returning to your online courses. Thanks Jane!
