Having participated in a record number of shows this year, I am now faced with the issue of how to store or display all this new work. I have resorted to hanging many new pieces on the walls at home. I'm quite pleased by how they work in the space, but I feel a little sheepish about the number on display. Why is that?

I like grouping work together to make a bigger statement. I wonder if potential buyers ever think about how these pieces might work together as multiples.

I can see that it is easier to live with works with a quieter palette, like the blue-grey above.

But bright and bold has its place too.

When the pieces are small enough, even this mix of colour works well together.

Above are a couple from an earlier series that have graced our family room for several years, showing no effect from exposure to light. (I spray a UV protectant on all my finished work.)
Some experts in the marketing of art suggest that work be shown in a domestic or commercial setting to allow potential buyers to better visualize the piece in their own space. I will give some thought to following up on this idea.
