Show Layout - Spiral Flower Series
Here is a picture of the wall where the Spiral Flower Series hung during the "Through the Eyes of a Child" show and a picture of Ellie and I standing together in front of our work. The first drawings that I saw her doing that really caught my attention and inspired the overall idea for this show was one of her spiral flower drawings.
I think one of Ellie's favorite parts about the show was the Hors d'oeuvres ... so much so that she was still eating in this picture.

Inspiration for the Door Series
Here is the drawing that my four year old daughter Elianna did that inspired the "Door Series" which is part of the "Through the Eyes of a Child" art show. Notice the orange door with chimney and the rainbow doormats. Also notice the spirals on her hands and feet which carry on into her other pieces.

Gallery Wrap
People often ask the question, "What does the term Gallery Wrap mean?" The term Gallery wrap is used to describe a canvas that has been stretched around the sides of the stretcher bars and has no visible staples since it is secured to the back of the frame. The sides of the canvas are also thicker than a normal canvas measuring 1.25" to 2" or more. The sides of the canvas are primed and painted as part of the artwork most often continuing the image that appears on the front or sometimes simply painted with a solid color. This allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
In the case of my paintings that are on birch wood panel the term "Gallery Wrap" has nothing to do with canvas that has been wrapped around the sides since I am not painting on canvas. It is a descriptive term used to describe the method of display. The painting that is on the front of the wood panel continues around the sides of the wood. So the paintings are intended to be hung without a frame. See the picture below which was taken from a 3/4 view at one of my shows where all the paintings were displayed in this method.

The Door Series
To start things off I am going to feature the three remaining available paintings from the Door Series (the other five have already sold). My four year old daughter Elianna did an amazing sketch of her walking between these orange doors that each had chimneys attached to them and rainbow doormats in front of them. I don't have it scanned at the moment but plan to upload it soon. You can see her piece was hung just to the right on the adjacent wall below. That was the inspiration for these pieces which were eight in total. Here are some shots from just before the opening night of the show.
