Tricia’s Art Blog

When I came in today I discovered that  David had been into the space the previous afternoon after I left and changed the works around again.  Loss of Innocence and Prisoner of Silence are now on adjacent walls instead of opposite each other and The Abyss is now opposite the eyes canvas. He also suggested that I leave the entrance walls empty, in order to put the paintings list on and the extract from the blog.  Three different layouts, three different opinions – I am very confused. I decided to get on with the frame making and give much more consideration to the curating  of my space. I have been battling with the frames all day, wishing that I could afford to have them professionally framed and when I cut the last piece of the second frame at the wrong angle, I began to lose the will to live! ENTER THE WHITE KNIGHT. Robin came into the workshop and saved me from complete despair. He walked me through the artists guide to frame-making, with patience, practical advice and assistance. I left the building with two constructed frames, albeit with more work to do – filling, sanding and painting and fitting the boards into the frames, nevertheless, I went home in a very happy and much relieved state of mind. I couldn’t have done it without him.
