"ACCENTS"
Here's southern for you ---- from the south face of the new equatorial glacier. Twenty-one degrees here in South Carolina and twenty-nine in Caribou, Maine.

I am "fixin" to get back into the online auctions/market places and in fact have reactivated my old e-Bay account. I have placed some things on Face Book marketing. Have found no victims yet, but they are out there and this approach will be expanded upon.

My market theory for 2010 is that selling art will continue to be just OK to modestly postitive!
Most retail type business last year were down about a third. I don't see much change to that other than perhaps a small uptick----the media will continue to harp on unemployment being high and continue to try to scare most folks who listen to the evening news and read the failing newspapers. But remember they are biased and with 2010 elections coming up, the media will have to start "Good mouthing" the economy in order the get their favorites re-elected. There are some bright spots, the market is up, unemployment numbers will likely flatten for a while, and house sales have been improving. With that said, I feel that people will be starting to consider small to medium size art for decorative purposes in their homes and offices. As long as the art is good and the price is affordable some sales can be made this year.

One of the first of what is a new direction or emphasis for me is the floating frame. One such presentation is pictured here of an image called "Translucent". You've seen this image before on this blog. This was made in the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine, Florida. While the place has been there for a long time and there are a lot of alligators, there also is a great wild bird rookery. Their web page is http://www.alligatorfarm.com/. This bird was taken during the mating season on his/her way back to the nest. This is a great egret which is one of the larger of the egrets and during the mating season the lores, or area around the eyes, turn a bright green. The prime time to be there to photograph these birds is from March through sometime in June. There are any number of different species perched in the trees, on nests, and even walking on the railing of the boardwalk. The specific allure of this image are the almost translucent wings, the bright green lores, and a very light grey background. The lores is that area around they eye. This is an instant attention grabber of natural content on any wall.
These are glicee fine art photographic prints presented on a floating frame. The print is printed digitally on an Epson machine using Epson papers and inks. The print has been sprayed with a UV protectorate and finally with a Poly coating which helps to eliminate scratching. Furthermore, the print can be lightly washed with a damp cloth for cleaning.
Who would have thought…a washable fine art photograph!
“The term ‘Glicee’ was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne, a print maker working in the field, to represent any ink jet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial ‘Iris proofs’ from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s. The term has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such high quality prints.” (This definition was quoted from Wikipedia)
The size of the print is 17.75” tall and 11.25” wide. The depth of the black border is 1.625” which allows the print to stand away from your wall by that amount. Thus, the image appears to be floating. Mounting to the wall could not be easier…simply place two small nails on a level plain and the frame will hang level forever. Sizes of the images will of course vary and the images themselves can all be seen on my website which will eventually have a specific category for "Accents".
Stay tuned!
