No, I haven't started Gala yet. I set up a mess of stuff for it and the apples are in the compote in the upstairs refrigerator, but I haven't gotten it right yet. I took out the large pink and turquoise urn. I suppose I need to bring the apples back down to see if that did the trick. Sticking to my guns about a horizontal composition this time.
Meanwhile, I've been riding the roller coaster of Spring Fever and sporadically cleaning in the studio. Slow but steady wins the race. Took out a large bag of old mats for recycling which felt good. I also rescued a pastel board from the crappy figure drawing stuff and did a fun pastel of the classic red nut chopper like Aunt Bell used to have in her pink and gray kitchen! I miss that house...sigh. I got inventive with the ground color-wise and love how it made the thing sing. Will post image eventually.
Ordered the frame for Syncopated Pink Lady today complete with Museum Glass. OUCH. Using that stuff makes framing VERY costly, but I see why a piece might win an award with it versus without it and these last two are certainly award worthy if I do say so myself. The nut chopper - not so much - didn't get the gla$$. Still got a nice frame. We're up to $275 in frame orders, so I must stop! I may have to go back to standard size cheapos for a bit. Hate that.
Tomorrow should be nice, so I'll plug away downstairs again... and try to post that picture!
