16x20 Oil on Stretched Canvas
I liked the reflective blue in this painting, contrasting with the darkness of the buildings. This is Dundas Street in Toronto. Please excuse the poor photo and glare. Time to do some serious research and find out how to take some quality photos!
Note:I retook this photo using a white sheet draped over the painting on the easel, trying to simulate a
"light tent". The results were somewhat better. I was hoping to try and make a light box/tent, but after pricing fabric and framing in either tubing or wood, I broke down and ordered a 60" x 60" light tent from ebay. This will be large enough to photograph a 30x40 painting inside.
Dreama Tolle Perry used one of these to photograph the paintings for her book and was pleased with the results.If you are getting ready to submit paintings for gallery representaion, or art shows, it is important to have
good photos. I'm looking forward to not having to struggle with glare and hot spots! If you are looking for them on ebay, search for "light tent" or light box. They are available in various sizes.
