My signature move

  I hate signing my name on a painting. I think it's clunky, messy, and draws too much attention. Maybe that's just my eye on my own work. I don't seem to be bothered by other signatures. When I took Chris Ivers's pastel course last month, she made a point to talk about signing work, so I decided to try again.
     Hate it. On my last pastel I tried it at least six times in two places. Then I got mad at all the pastel I was wasting fixing my attempts. My answer was to write it on the back in a paint pen (on black Gatorboard). If it were ever framed there's no need for a backing to be added, so you could see my little inked name. I must remember this benefit to using Gatorboard.
     I did sign--maybe three times--this pastel pictured. Can you even see it? No? Good, then I did it right.

    I Heart Art

    I do! I make it, sell it, think about it, look at it, read about it, and (sometimes) I write about it. Join my mailing list, and you'll receive my brief--promise--messages about new work, shows, events, and a little inspiration. Probably a picture of my dog, too.
