taming the stag
watercolour on khadi paper
(will post measurements later: off to take the kids to the park before we have another opening of the heavens!)
This piece has been done on deckle-edged khadi paper, which has a lovely texture. My husband, (the phototgrapher, and he has to pay his keep, so I get him to take all my photos), has cropped the edges slightly here, but I think it looks nicer with the rough edges, and will maybe post another picture later to show you. I`m dithering as whether or not to put the mount over the edges or tape this on top of the mount?! any suggestions, please? I`ve done both in the past, and both ways turned out fine, but I do love deckled edges......the more rustic, the better.
I like both ways but would say go with your gut. If you prefer it with the rough edges then mount it that way :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous painting as usual!

I love your work Judith , your oil work is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI also think your monotypes on paper are brill, but you will def. have problems selling those in small narrow minded N.Ireland
Unfortunately, in this country of ours if it's not a sheep, a cow, farming oils or some sort of Irish landscape is very difficult to sell.
Keep your good work
Julie
I agree with Julie, your art is wonderful !!
