Fellow artist and photographer, Gary Denton, takes magnificent photographs. I met Gary on FaceBook through another friend. I was immediately drawn to his work, and apartment bound here in NYC, I asked if I may paint from his photographs of the rural mid-west.

He generously agreed and I've started to create a collection of acrylics based on his original source material.

It is a unique, subjective, and rewarding experience to explore another person's art, and to record those impressions and feelings.

THE TAILS HAVE IT - The Buttah Business Bureau

I can't believe it's not butter.

 

LIAR!

There is nothing like butter.

There is nothing like drawn butter.

Even better, butter and lobster.

Are you with me on this?

Recently, when it came to setting a fee for a tiny portrait that I created for dear friends known for their stupendous home steamed lobsters-I cut to the chase and negotiated for a paper bib and crustaceans.

It's like that in this business, you gotta use your head, and sometimes call it tails!

Lobster tails that is.

But like everyone, I want to and should eat a healthier diet.

So, I am considering a kale Spring sale.

NOT!

Sincerely,
Lisa LoCurto
CEO-The Buttah Business Bureau

I'VE BEEN FRAMED!

To frame or not to frame-that is the question.

 

You say tomato, I say tomato-whether to frame artwork or not, is an individual preference. Some pieces seem to need to live beyond the boundaries of the canvas, while others are enhanced when framed. But framing can be a daunting prospect, financially and aesthetically. A long time fan of repurposed items and thrift store bargains, I collect some art I find in second hand stores simply for the frames! 

 

Last month, me and my cousin Donna gathered 50+ such frames of all sizes, that I will use for art I'll create this Spring and Summer. Typically the painting comes first and then after, the choice of frame is considered. I've always been a little backwards . . .so, with all these great frames available, I've been  painting to suit the frame, reversing the process.

Each of these paintings was created for the specific frame.

 

And this frame, for example, a glorious plaster piece from the 20's,  measuring 24" x 30" inches on the inset, was a giant bargain for just $30. Yes, it's got a few nicks and is missing a bit of plaster in small areas, but hey, it's still an amazing find.

I can't wait to paint the countryside landscape that will find a home in this beautiful old lady.
