I was glad to get the SAQA Auction 12″x 12″ sent off and get a message from Martha Sielman that it was received. It’s now on page 3b of the auction pieces, in stellar company. It’s hard to put something out there among all those wonderful other pieces, many by well-know artists, and not feel a little intimidated. Like, what if no-one buys it?!? Oh, well – it’s for a great cause, so I hope it brings in some $$! Once more, I am amazed at all the work Martha does. It seems as if she is always on top of everything.

The SAQA Auction
I have been mounting my work on stretched archival canvases more and more. It seems easier for someone to see it as art and to immediately see that it’s ready to hang, because it has a wire the same way a picture has. I also like the way a canvas lifts the work away from the wall. It seems somehow even more dimensional and I like that, too. Some things I wrap around the stretcher boards and some I mount on a painted canvas larger than the work.
