Hanging It Up
Jan. 28th, 2023 06:08 pmIn and around doing laundry today, I have hung some more artwork. Some of this involved moving artwork from one place to another, but more artwork was hung.
I had an Erin McKee astronomical (which she forgot to sign) hanging in the basement and decided that it should move up to my office, where it is now hanging over the printer which is a space that shows it off nicely. The Fastner and Larson print that Gretchen bought for the office has moved to where Erin's piece was in the basement. I had to move the couch to get close enough to the wall to hang it, but I managed to make that work.
A piece of Todd Cameron Hamilton's art went to the library and the large painting of a fantasy bridge is now hanging over the treadmill. The corner of the library now has a Laura Hamilton dragon painting and a Menolly and the fire lizards piece by an artist named Mary Pierce hanging there, so we've got a fairly coherent fantasy theme going on there now. Unfortunately, this required moving the two pieces that were already hanging there, one of which is a Winnie the Pooh print that Gretchen is quite fond of. (Oops.) So the Pooh is now hanging just outside the library where you can see it when you come in from the garage, while the Nene Thomas fairy that I'd recently hung in that spot slid down the hall to a slightly larger space.
Meanwhile, back in the office, part of the impetus for rearranging the artwork in that corner of the library was that there's a lovely astronomical that had been hanging in that spot for years and I wanted to move it to a place where I'd see it more often. So that piece is now hanging just inside my office door and looks good there.
When I was getting ready to hang that piece in the office, I turned it over for a minute as it sat in my office chair and realized that there was a message on the back of the painting that I had never seen. It was the title of the piece, "Young Suns, Old World", along with the artist's name and e-mail address with a request to let her know who had bought the piece so she could keep track of it.
Oops. (Word of the day, it seems.) The e-mail address was for netcom.com, which seemed, well, out of date. And sure enough it was. A web search didn't turn up any contact info, although it did reveal a couple of pieces of her art that had been sold at various times at auction.
So, Patricia Davis, I apologize for not letting you know sooner, but I bought your painting. :)
