Paintings of France, Italy and Beyond

A few gallery snaps from the “Small Stuff” show

11 12 2007

Don’t let anyone tell you that hanging a show for a bunch of small works is an easy task. But after it was all in place, we were very happy with the results, and I’m glad to report that my husband and I are still married. Here are a few shots from the show, on view now through Jan. 30th:

When we were looking at this space for the gallery, one of the first things I noticed was this cute built-in. It’s a perfect display for my minis and my new line of watercolor/pen and inks. Here I’ve decorated it with some lights and mistle toe:

A close-up that shows some of the ornaments–I like the little silver and gold Christmas balls along the bottom shelf:

On the opposite wall are the landscape paintings of Venice and Lake Como:

Close-up shot of the mantlepiece decorated with paintings. To the left of the large Venetian landscape are a series of little square 6×6″ Lake Como paintings. Anyone who has read my blog for a while, or my squidoo lens on hanging art must know I’m a fan of grouping big and small paintings together like this. I’d love to do something similar over my fireplace mantle at home.

I guess that’s really all I had time for, photography-wise. I may share a few more snaps and I will definitely share more info on some of the individual pieces in the show very soon.
