Slight change of pieces chosen for exhibition

After discussions with Margaret on Friday, I have decided that the 3 large square paintings will be displyed in the exhibition downstairs, while the two fish fin pieces and my framed fish dissection drawing (picked up from getting reframed today) will hopefully both go in the exhibition on the second floor.

I also used white acrylic house paint (used to paint the plinths) and white washed the edges of all 3 paintings as I feel it makes it look more professional and uniform. I am very happy with the overall results of the work I am going to show, and very excited about seeing the exhibition!!

Exhibition pieces finished!

I have finally completed my two large fish eye paintings, and also my two smaller fish fin paintings, which I intend on putting in the exhibition. I also completed the first original larger painting (90 x 90cm orange and blue), but was not completely satisfied with it, and when viewing the pieces together, the colour scheme didn't fit well alongside the other work.

I have also got my fish drawing at the framers being reframed, and hope to pick it up next week, so it may be able to go in the upstairs exhibition if space is limited downstairs.





Here are some pictures of the two main pieces at different stages of progress:
