This size painting works
well displayed on a small easel on a desk or
table top as well as hung on a wall. It's
also just the right size for those narrow
vertical wall areas. And of course you can
hang a group of them to fill a much larger
space. This
painting is ready to hang, or you may frame
it. Here's how it might look framed:
It fits a standard 8x10"
frame for canvas paintings. Or you may want
to use a frame with a liner, which will make
the painting larger:
DETAIL VIEWS OF THIS
PAINTING: to show texture and brush strokes:
The painting is actually
quite a bit more vibrant in person than it
looks on the monitor. I used a gloss varnish
that deepens the black and makes the
metallic and iridescent paints glow. Even in
rather dim light, the painting glows
wonderfully.

THIS PAINTING WILL LAST:
I use the finest art materials and archival
techniques available so your purchase will last for generations. Each
painting is varnished with 3 or more coats of a removable varnish over an
isolation coat. This means that the painting can be wiped clean as needed.
And decades from now, the varnish can be removed and redone if necessary,
without harm to the painting itself.
FRAMING IS OPTIONAL:
This painting is on fine stretched cotton duck canvas, gallery
wrapped. That means it's stapled only on the back, with all sides fully
painted to coordinate with the front. It is ready to hang.
I ship the painting unframed to save you shipping
costs. Then you can choose the frame you like, or hang the painting
unframed. The canvas is a standard size, so you can easily find a frame
for it to suit your style. Most people just hang the painting right away,
unframed.
CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY
This is an original work of art by me - Catherine Jo
Morgan. I work alone in my studio in the woods, doing all the work myself.
My studio is named Ecstasy Forge, so that gives an idea of my usual mood
while making art! The painting is signed on the front, with title,
signature, and year on the back. A Certificate of Authenticity will be
included.

Painting even better than photo." ABOUT CATHERINE JO MORGAN:
I draw, paint and make vessel
sculptures in my studio in the woods of northeast Georgia, in the foothills
of the Smoky Mountains. I live in a rustic cabin I built with my partner in
1982. After an earlier career as a psychologist, I became a fulltime
artist-blacksmith in 1985. Since 1990, I've specialized in iron and mixed
media vessel sculptures. My drawings and paintings are usually studies for
these sculptures. I draw my inspiration from walks in the woods, especially
hikes into wilderness areas.
My work is in private collections across the United
States. I've participated in invitational shows, including a show of iron
bowls at Georgia Southern University in 1996. I've also taught blacksmithing
and metal sculpture. In 1990 I was a featured demonstrator at the national
blacksmithing conference in Alfred, New York. My bowls are also featured in
Dona Meilach's book, Contemporary Ironwork.
