Hanging up My Paintings - A New Year Task

.
Over these few days over the New Year, other than clearing up my sculpture workshop and writing blogs, I have also started rearranging to get clear wall spaces to hang up some of my relatively large oil paintings.

It is surprising I have never hung up my own paintings on my walls. For some time I just paint non-stop to prepared for my large solo painting exhibition. After finishing a painting I then put it up on my racks to dry which takes many months. Now that the exhibiton is over, I can now start hanging these paintings up.

This picture below shows four of the paintings being hung up at the bottom portion of my staircase.

The hanging locations seem all right. But there is insufficient lighting on the few paintings further up at the staircase wall. I'll need to see what can be done on this.

I'll continue to get more hooks and hang up more.

It may be of interest this large painting of an angry old man faces the entrance door of my house. It'd give visitors a shock when I open the front door. LOL !



Further up along the staircase, I have two large wall spaces. I am excited that one of the spaces shown on the left below is ideal for hanging up my large 6 x 6 ft painting assembly called 'Upside Down World'. But the location is too high up for me, and there is no suitable ground space for a good ladder support. I'll need outside help to safely hang them up.

Even on the simple job hanging the few paintings shown above, I fell. Fortunately I fell just a few steps, and there was no harm done.





This afternoon as I've a small job to be done at my roof top, I've asked my renovation contractor to come over. While he is over, I'll also ask him to install extra lighting and to hang up this large 6 x 6 ft painting assembly.

Soon my staircase will become my home art gallery. LOL !
