Hello everyone, I would like to introduce you to the Four Kelly’s , my current project. Rich and Kelly came to my studio with a picture of this massive 14-foot long wall in their bedroom that needed "something". The rest was up to me. How much fun is that?  

Artists slice up a perfectly good painting all the time. Right?
I cut these down to fit their intended wall space. The first time I cut a painting was the worst. Each time since has been "a bit" easier

("a bit" mind you is a very small amount).

I'm keeping the "scraps" for a mosaic! I've never seen it done before, could I be first in the whole world? Hmm.I haven't thought of what I might like to do yet, but I know it will be a lot of fun...!

I cut and routed 1" x 3" pine boards for the frames. Pictured here is the "final fitting" so to speak where I've just snugged the paintings and frames together. Priming and painting is next.  I'll keep you updated.

Alison From: FineArtbyRobin 12/09/2007 18:12:27 I wish I knew how to make my own frames, your end result does not look like it was cropped. There have been times when I actually have chosen to crop and cut and collage a painting, I love that there are no rules with the creative process!
