TITLE: "Racing For Home"
Important message from the artist:
LIGHTING: I photograph my works using professional quality true day light bulbs. They have a very high CRI rating of 98. CRI measures how close a bulb comes to producing true noon day sunlight. Noon day sunlight is rated at CRI of 100.
All paintings change drastically according to the quality and amount of light that strikes them. Proper lighting is vital to enjoying your art at its highest potential. All paintings reflect light rather that emitting light. What this means is you need sufficient light (and preferably a high CRI) to really make them glow. A $40 million Van Gogh suffers the same fate as my paintings when displayed without sufficient light. They become subdued, dull, and dark.
Lighting is so vital that the very first thing that museums and art galleries do when building new facilities is design the lighting systems. Everything else is subordinate to the lighting design.
Fortunately, its now easier than ever to properly light your paintings at home. Search or that other place that starts with an "A" and type in "art lights". There are many great options to properly light your new Max Cole Original. Some attach to the frame while others are "accent up lights". All are easy to install and use. You can get hard wired models or battery powered models, whichever is right for you.
No matter what you use to light your painting, try to get bulbs that have the highest CRI possible. A CRI of 90 or above is best. These types of bulbs are called "Full Spectrum bulbs. A CRI of 98 is ideal and will perfectly match the light I use in my studio. You will see your painting exactly as I intended it to be seen and it will absolutely GLOW! Once you see one of my paintings properly lit, you will be hooked!
If you cant obtain ideal lighting, concentrate on achieving a high QUANTITY of light even if the CRI is not perfect. Some will place their painting above a regular table lamp. High CRI bulbs for your table lamps are widely available on the internet. The most important thing is getting a lot of light on your painting...as much as possible!
To get a glimpse of the power of proper light on paintings, take one of my paintings outside and look at it in the sun. You wont believe the difference. Its astonishing.
FRAMING: My paintings are designed to be displayed framed. Framing your new painting will change it dramatically for the good while also protecting it. Try to pick out a frame that is either washed gold or black with a gold liner. The designs I use tend to be simple but high quality frames with some low key carvings. I have found these types of frames to really enhance my work. When properly lit and framed, you wont believe how your new painting will transform into something special. Im always here to assist you with framing. Ask me what frames I stock and I will frame your new painting so it arrives ready to hang.
Art is awesome!Art is healing
