Donation
I've been asked by a friend to donate some artwork for a fundraising event. It is nice to be asked. It is also important to donate something that could raise a bit of money (and not just clean out inventory!) The event isn't until April so I have some time to work on the two pieces they requested. Two years ago I did a commission for an interior designer who had specific requirements (color, size, design elements). It was interesting to work within those constraints and I was pleased with the final piece. I painted with acrylic paints and relied on glazing to create the effects the designer requested. I haven't done something like that since. This opportunity to donate pieces gave me the opportunity to 1) recycle some work from the past, 2) experiment with glazing, and 3) see what I come up with that might have a more "commercial" appeal than what I currently do.
