Dogs for Lunch

I framed today and this piece is finally hanging on my studio wall.  I worked after dog biz and then again after lunch.  And yes, dogs were the subject at lunch.  When are dogs NOT the subject?  Well, when cats are, I guess.

I frame my work in batches, mainly because I don’t like to pause to do it.  The more practical reason is that I purchase my frames wholesale and the shipping is free IF I purchase over five frames at a time.  If I wait too long the task is overwhelming, so five or six is a good number to work with.   

Tomorrow I’m having my encaustics professionally photographed and it’s the first time I’ve hired a pro in years.  Photographing my watercolors was a simple process - setting up two light stands at 45 degree angles and shooting.  My encaustics are going to require a different approach - maybe a couple of diffusers will be all I need but I’m going to let a pro help me this time.  Thank you, Walt!!
