Show everyone your latest Art Purchase?, by Cardiff on Oct 21, 2015 14:02:15 GMT 1, ... A non depressing herakut, that is lovely!! Great expressions and that squirrel. Whats the size of it? Damn, I hope they release some beauties like this Thanks Max! It's 48"x55" and we commissioned it to be a daily reminder to stay grounded on what's most important in our life (our family tree...the "expressions" are my two little crumb snatchers).

Show everyone your latest Art Purchase?, by Cardiff on Oct 19, 2015 14:55:20 GMT 1, Have told you before how much I like the top piece, but that Herakut ... ! Not seen it before, and it is brilliant! Thanks very much Treweman...after a number of years of looking, we're happy to finally have a Herakut hanging on our wall. This one's a meaningful one for us.

Moniker Art Fair, by Cardiff on Oct 18, 2015 18:56:44 GMT 1, She was giving out masks at the preview. The work is stunning. Definitely one of the highlights of the fair. Can someone let me know how big these sculptures are? Are they editions? I'd also be very happy to know how to source her work...absolutely love them!

Show everyone your latest Art Purchase?, by Cardiff on Sept 12, 2015 17:06:00 GMT 1, Next up is a beautiful Micallef canvas from his Laz show in 2006. Bought it yesterday, came home with it last night and looks like the dog loves it too! Belonged to a great forum member who told me i would get first refusal if he ever decided to sell her. When i heard from him, i had to say yes.
This is insane Matt...one of the best pieces I've seen on here in a long time. HUGE congrats!

Charming Baker Art - Framed, by Cardiff on Sept 5, 2015 15:55:31 GMT 1, Posted this a while back in the latest art buy section...just figured it would be worth posting here in case anyone's looking for a little different approach for his pieces on wood. Our framer used museum acrylic and a red bleed through under the black that makes the frame truly look like an extension of the art...very happy with it.

Ebay and FS: Fairey, Geddes, Etc. , by Cardiff on Sept 4, 2015 18:45:51 GMT 1, No offense to the mods, but this Ebay link should be allowed. Solar77's been a solid contributor around the forum art scene for a long time, and has a heartbreaking challenge with his daughter. Rules like this are made to be broken in circumstances like this.
Best wishes Solar...thoughts are with you and your family!

I can't believe you painted over those salmon walls and that Charming Baker wall mural! Horrible!

I love the Scuba Horse and all the posts by TJP (the Harrington's are beautiful).
Please forgive my ignorance...is this piece by Pejac? If not, who's the artist? It's fantastic.

Sold, by Cardiff on Aug 13, 2015 5:16:07 GMT 1, Thanks for the comments guys. I do feel a little dirty offering this piece for sale as it seems like I'm offering up a member of our family. Acquiring this piece was a psychological turning point for my art collecting and we definitely became emotionally attached to her.
I apologize for posting so many photos, but it's really difficult to capture all the nuances of this one. If anyone's interested, I do have an art crate that will work to ship this so there should be no geographic restrictions.
Cheers!

UV Protection Glass โข Museum Glass, by Cardiff on Jul 29, 2015 0:27:14 GMT 1, ... I also consider the time/years I intend to hang the piece ... divide the cost by as little of 3 or 5 years and then think about the diminishing upfront capital cost. Also consider that you may well move the piece around the house as your collection expands and you have a crystal clear front to one of your favourite pieces I agree...based on my recent framing experiences, I would put museum glass/acrylic just behind proper lighting in the order of "most important things to maximize my enjoyment of a nice piece of art". Obviously, if there's no kids/light/drunks/cleaning ladies in the equation, no glass is better. If I need to protect a piece, I will always use it going forward...nothing else that I've seen is close.

Ian Francis | The Chosen Form of Your Destroyer | Lazarides , by Cardiff on Jul 26, 2015 18:33:35 GMT 1, Gotta say, the framing/scale is perfect on the charcoals...don't mean to drool on and on about them, but WOW. I'll stand by my previous comments on the overall subject matter of the rest of the show, but I fucking love the charcoals.
Thanks again for the pics.
PS-Sorry about the profanity on a Sunday morning!

Show everyone your latest Art Purchase?, by Cardiff on Jul 25, 2015 17:43:47 GMT 1, Fantastic Francis piece - is it charcoal on canvas?
Thanks John...don't quote me, but I believe she's acrylic, charcoal, ink, & mixed media (34"x50" on canvas). You should stop by next time you're visiting your family down south and meet her in person. Here's a pic on the wall for scale...

Show everyone your latest Art Purchase?, by Cardiff on Jul 25, 2015 17:16:55 GMT 1, beautiful! is this from his latest show?
Thanks very much...it's actually from a White Walls show in 2009. I've loved the piece since the first time I saw it 4-5 years ago. As I was looking for Francis pieces, I'd compare every one to this one...thrilled to have her on the wall.

UV Protection Glass โข Museum Glass, by Cardiff on Jul 24, 2015 16:42:19 GMT 1, I am converted...I recently framed a smaller/canvas piece as it was in an area where my kids could splash it with a juice box/yogurt tube or drunken guests could poke it when then stumbled up from our dining table and I wanted the protection. It's a valuable piece (to me) and I decided to give museum acrylic a try. The effect was so impressive that I have replaced UV acrylic with "museum" on another piece and sprung for it on the rather large Baker piece I just posted on the recent purchase thread...the cost of using museum acrylic on the Baker piece doubled the total framing bill (gulp), but it was absolutely worth it...it is incredible. Before anyone asks, I have 0 connection to the company (quite honestly, couldn't even tell you what brand it is...just trusted my framer). I am a complete believer and will never skimp again when framing "nice" pieces where clarity and presentation is important.

I think I need to have my wife and daughter have a little chat with your wife and kids before next Father's Day. Be careful what you ask for...my 4 and 6 year olds are the best negotiators I know...you might get some nice art for Father's Day, but they might also convince your wife to sell me your Ethos
