Gerbera - mixed media 25x30cm

0 comments Posted by Trine at 12:28 am

Today I nearly freaked out. The first part of today was OK - or rather more than OK - all our tenth graders had oral exams today and the school average was nice, meaning the local government hopefully will think that we have great teachers LOL.

After that I started working on making the frames for "Waiting in the shadows" and " textile industry". The first part, cutting was easier but more time consuming to get exactly right than I had imagined. Then I started to try to glue and stich it together SIGH! Let me just say that one is still undone and the other has hopefully dried until tomorrow but I do not think it will be strong enough. Well - you win some and you lose some. I will try to make an emergecy solution tomorrow. After aboard meeting in the local teachers union, I worked on the frames again.


The rest of today I have spent framing and getting ready for the exhibition. It is amazing how much time it all takes.

Textile Industy, acrylics on acrylics paper.

0 comments Posted by Trine at 12:13 am

This is the third in the black on black series. Together with "waiting in the Shadows" I will try to get them mounte dand framed tomorrow. All the materials and glass etc is bought and made ready. I find it a bit scary but that is normal - I always find thigs a bit scary the very first time.

A good friend of mine told me: "Don't piddle in your puddle". Here I fear I piddled or fiddled a bit too much. It is so hard finding a balance between making this a kind of non detailed work but not too faded. I kind of wish that I had left it a bit more faded. On the other hand, I need to take a day or two off any work before I know how it turned out. when it is just finished I often feel that it is all wrong and then some days or weeks later, I am able to look at it with new eyes. I would love any comments you'd care to give.

Nightlife Framed - a night of framing.

0 comments Posted by Trine at 12:02 am

This is how "nightlife" ended up looking varnished and double mounted and framed.

I am totally drained after having worked with chosing mounts (passe partout we call it here) and frames and deciding the exact crop to do and exactly how much and what to have inside the mounts for work I want to exhibit this weekend. This year there will be more people showing paintings meaning that each get only half the wall space so I really want each work to look right and all together show a variety that might tempt viewers to visit this blog to see my other works.
Tomorrow will be an interesting day with me trying to make my first two frames by myself. You'd better keep your fingers crossed for me. But first I will spend the day calming nervous teenagers because tomorrow all the 10th graders have oral exams and since I teach mostly 9th this year I am on calming duty.
I also need to give you some good news. Yesterday I did not post a painting because I had been to a thourough examination of my eyes and they had put stuff into my eyes. the good news is that my eyes can be done lazersurgery on and I have an appointment for next Thursday. That too will probably be a non painting day hehe. I am very much looking forward to being able to play ball games or exercise without needing glasses. Jippiii.

Nightlife - acrylics on acrylics paper

1 comments Posted by Trine at 12:11 am

Today I ordered framing materials and I will try to frame this one and " Waiting in the shadows" similarly for the exhibiiton next weekend. Today I got totally stressed out after having made a list of everything that must be done this and next week. No time for anything to go wrong or being tired or unwell. To get through it I push myself a bit too hard these days but I try to do everything one step at a time and one thing or one task or hour or even half o\hour at a time to make it feel manageable.

Well, that is how june has been for the last 4 years - totally crazy, but fairly normal for teachers. I hope you like my work in blacks mostly. They are among my favourites. I have been working on a third one this week but it is still not finished. This far it is interesting and i only hope I will be equally lucky when continuing to work on it. Unfortunately I can end up ruining with overwork so this one I will be very careful with to try to get it as I want it.

Nightlife, acrylics on acrylics paper, mounted and will be framed this week
