Once a year Pence Gallery sends out 5" x 7" canvas boards for their Tiny Show. Years past I would just paint a still life or portrait of one of my pieces. This year I decided to do a sculptural piece that fits on the board. I built the "portrait" on a slab measuring 5 3/8" x 7 3/8" ( I estimated the piece would shrink less than 1/2") and trimmed away the background. It came out of the kiln, fitting the the canvas board right at the edge.

At this angle it does seem the sides are going off, but they actually line up.

I love this piece!
ReplyDeleteHe is just mischievous enough to warrant some attention amongst all the beautiful paintings. It sold over the weekend :)
DeleteWhat a good idea! He is very a charming elf! : )
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful and fun exhibit.
DeleteOf course your Nature Boy sold! Even if there had been sculptures a'plenty, he (and his little blue companions) would shine his ethereal beauty and steal the show!
ReplyDeleteLove him so much.
Charlene, you're such an inspiration, always :)
Thank you for all your kind words, Vicki :)
DeleteOooooooh! Just fantastic. Whenever I see your lovely works on your blog, I wish I could see them in person. Love the girl and light green leaves and particularly, her eyes and the blue birds!!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to do this piece. It was a surprise to pull it out of the kiln, the colors were so autumnal!
Delete*_* What beautiful Portrait! Well done!
