I am delighted and honored to say that my artwork is featured in the May/June edition of the New Group of World Servers Journal. Thank you Barb Allen, Editor. I was pleased to see that my artwork shares the pages with the work of colleague and blog friend Katharine Cartwright. Her “Laws of Nature” series of paintings are stunning. Congratulations. The best way for preparing, packing and shipping artwork depends on your objective. It all began about six months ago. I was attending a critique session with local Watercolor Society of Oregon members. We got on the subject of shipping artwork and watercolor paintings in particular. I added my two cents worth, or was it forty-five? In any case, my friend Georganna Happel suggested I write an article about shipping paintings. Six months later, I think I’m ready to give it a try. By painting his “Hoot Owl” in orange colors, I think my father, artist John H. Stermer, was having fun and peaking our curiosity. I see stoic owls, teaming with energy as they wait for the night’s hunt. What do you see?Backward Planning Process for Shipping Artwork to An Exhibition
