In my recent post of this clock I promised a couple things.
The first was a new photo set featuring a worn and aged vintage wallpaper background. After wallpapering, sanding, and repeated oil paint washes, I have a stack of panels with vintage wallpaper that I can use to photograph my smaller work. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while. It’s a technique I used in the past, and it was a good way to keep my clock photos from looking too repetitive.
The second thing I promised was the reopening of the shop here on my website. For the past six years I’ve been working on very large commissions, which took years to make. I loved the challenge, and seeing what I could do if I committed such a significant amount of time on larger work. One downside is that the inventory in my shop ran out, and I didn’t have any time to replenish the collection of smaller work. I eventually closed the perpetually empty shop.
But now that the larger work is behind me, I’m happily getting back to my old routine. I have a lot more work on the way, and I’m looking forward to having the walls in my house full of clocks again.
But not too full.
Enjoy the new photos!
The next piece is already in the works.
