I am popping the cork on the bubbly, Saturday, March 10th. Join me in the studio, 146 Germain Street from 10:00 until 2:00 for my famous mimosas and to have a little look around at the "Little Guys".
I have been having a lot of fun creating little these 6 x 6 inch acrylic paintings on ceramic tile. The acrylic allows me to get fussy and technical (if I decide to) but mostly I have just been getting creative and having so much fun.
The process is a little complicated. First the tiles have to be cleaned with a solution and then they need to be coated with a special tile and glass primer. The acrylic, of course acts differently, on the tile so there's been a learning curve here but it's been fun. I have also applied some blown ink here and there on the trees and then the works need a few coats of sealer. I pop them into the ready made frames and put them on display. my introductry price is $50 each for the acrylic tiles.
My favourite framer, Mario has been busy making the black wood frames for me and I have been filling them as fast as he makes them.
I have posted very few of these online as I wanted to give the studio visitors a chance to see them (and I take terrible photos). Here's a few. I hope to have around 25 of the acrylic on tile for next Saturday for the introduction party.
I also have many new Ink Tiles which will be available. Here's a couple of the 30 or so I've done.
