photos from santa fe
My painter friend Gregg Rochester was in Santa Fe and took these photos of my work as it is placed at Darnell Fine Art. I was very curious to see the photos he took, since I sent them quite a few of my paintings in June, but I haven't been to the gallery in person since March.
The top photo is of the entrance and porch (the gallery is housed in an old adobe home.) It's a little startling for me to see my work displayed outside--who would do that in Wisconsin?! But I like the idea that the work can be seen in natural light, and that it may draw visitors in to the gallery. The other photo is of one of my Vertical series next to the traditional New Mexican fireplace. It all seems right, somehow--the feeling of my paintings in this setting. I hope to get out there myself in the Fall, but in the meantime I'm happy to have these--thanks Gregg! ¶ 10:50 AM

I love that vertical format! I remember the same startled feeling when seeing several of my paintings on the porch of Waxlander (same director) when I had my show there. It makes sense since there are so many galleries along Canyon Road and the trick is to get the attention of those strolling by. Pics of paintings in their environment are special... they say so much more than cropped images.
The more I think about my work hanging outside at the gallery, the more I like the idea. Not that this could be done in many situations, but here it works. At home, I photograph my work outside, and it often seems like the true test of a painting--the way the colors and contrasts look against the shaded wall of my garage where I shoot them. Although I do have full spectrum bulbs in my studio, there is nothing like the real thing!
They look great, Rebecca.....and I still take photos of paintings outside as well.
