For prints I think 6" or 8" square are good sizes and could be framed nicely with a wide white mat. Interesting info about Google too.Jana Bouchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18019523068496828367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-45420914809884587642007-05-26T16:00:00.000+00:002007-05-26T16:00:00.000+00:00I love your flower drawing-the yellow keeping my e...I love your flower drawing-the yellow keeping my eye moving around. Very lovely! <BR/> I like to keep my flower paintings life sized, so I think 8" is plenty big. I found that people here in LA like collecting small, intimate paintings. There is something very intimate about a flower interior, and keeping the painting small invites one to come up close to it for further study......but then there's those great O'Keefe flower interiors that are large and still intimate....dfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553700992955429432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-30974409533035300152007-05-24T04:50:00.000+00:002007-05-24T04:50:00.000+00:00A good post Katherine with a lot of information pa...A good post Katherine with a lot of information packed into it. Google makes my head spin at times and so often wonder what path it will lead us to next.<BR/><BR/>These examples of your coloured pencil skills are lovely Katherine. I have no experience with print with my own work but do think Maggie has a valid point with what she says. I have noticed tourist will often buy small prints so that they can afford more of them. I guess it depends on the market that you are aiming for.<BR/><BR/>I finely managed to get my 'tweaked' widget up. There was a delay due to our power supply yesterday deciding to take a holiday, as so often it is lately.<BR/><BR/>Now I must get some painting done instead of playing with widgets ;).....cheers!Susan Borgashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035002453074965953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-21812942183007039422007-05-24T00:02:00.000+00:002007-05-24T00:02:00.000+00:00K - I'm with Maggie on the 6 x 6, or even 4 x 4......K - I'm with Maggie on the 6 x 6, or even 4 x 4.... I love small, and since you're doing a series, it would be lovely to frame and group them on a wall.<BR/><BR/>P.S.

They also make such things as 12 x 12" frames. <BR/><BR/>Remember how much the cost of framing adds - especially if you're trying to sell a small, "affordable" piece of art.Maggie Stiefvaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842527558335640093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-28408609089066027912007-05-23T13:05:00.000+00:002007-05-23T13:05:00.000+00:00Now i know you like your macro flowers to be BIG V...Now i know you like your macro flowers to be BIG Vivien. However I think if I were to go bigger with these then I need to start bigger. as prints always look best when you do the same size of smaller. I'm trying to get a sense of what might be a popular size in terms of sales.<BR/><BR/>The general idea with these is more to make them a possible 'volume' area of my work. It's something I never ever get bored doing and my flower drawinfs are something I can potentially do at any time of year whereas my plein air work is limited due to my body's capacity for aches and pains not taking to kindly to colder weather.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-76181605598466733202007-05-23T12:55:00.000+00:002007-05-23T12:55:00.000+00:008 inch isn't a bad size - I'd also consider 10 and...8 inch isn't a bad size - I'd also consider 10 and 12 inches - just that bit more impact a little bigger for not necessarily a lot more money. <BR/><BR/>I like these :)vivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.com
