Exhibition organization. Part two. Safe delivery of your art.

* Bubble wrap is perfect for protecting a painting from damage. First wrap in plastic and then create bubble wrap pillows for paintings and seal tight with packing tape. The pillows are made by taping one layer of bubble wrap smooth side to the painting, taping, and then taking a second layer bubble side down so that it creates a "pocket" that is bubble to bubble.

Exhibition organization. Part one. Framing your art.

Any frame I choose should complement the art it framing.

There are literally hundreds of thousands of choices.

There are some rules we should count:

Tall ship

The terms tall ship that we will use often in this site does not correspond to a specific type of sailing vessel. It usually means a large, traditionally rigged (in terms of sails) sailing vessel. It can be “technically” a full ship but doesn’t need to be.


The biggest type is called a full-rigged ship and it looks like this:
A full-rigged ship has at least three masts all square rigged (her name is Christian Radich)

Romantic! Nice tall ships

Wisdom of Tibet

about existence "Good news is that you are falling whithout a parachute and you cant catch anything on your way. But good news that earth does not exist also."

"You are sitting on the earth and you realize that this earth deserves you and you deserve this earth. You are there - fully, personally, genuinely."



Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche (February 28, 1939 – April 4, 1987) was a Buddhist meditation master and holder of both the Kagyu and Nyingma lineages, the eleventh Trungpa tülku, a tertön, supreme abbot of the Surmang monasteries, scholar, teacher, poet, artist, and originator of a radical re-presentation of Shambhala vision.


Trungpa's Crazy Wisdom



"Crazy wisdom is natural, effortless, not driven by the hope and fear machine of the ego."

New Persian Art work (illumination)

My art:

Persian Miniature

A Persian miniature is a small painting, whether a book illustration or a separate work of art intended to be kept in an album of such works. The techniques are broadly comparable to the Western and Byzantine traditions of miniatures in illuminated manuscripts. Although there is an equally well-established Persian tradition of wall-painting, the survival rate and state of preservation of miniatures is better, and miniatures are much the best-known form of Persian painting in the West. Miniature painting became a significant Persian form in the 13th century, and the highest point in the tradition was reached in the 15th and 16th centuries. The tradition continued, under some Western influence, after this, and has many modern exponents. The Persian miniature was the dominant influence on other Islamic miniature traditions, principally the Ottoman miniature in Turkey, and the Mughal miniature in the Indian sub-continent.


(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Though at various stages it has been affected by Chinese and Eastern influences, Persian miniature art has developed its own distinctive features. Whether it's being displayed in museums, casino hotels, or in private collections, Persian art has its own distinct features. For instance, Iran's miniature artists are recognizable for their emphasis on natural and realist motifs. Also worth noting is the Persian technique of "layering" perspectives to create a sense of space.

In the miniature piece the variety of views is noticeable in the arrangement of objects: birds inhabit both the foreground and background of the piece, with the floral objects positioned in between. This gives the viewer a sense of threedimensional space and the ability to focus on certain aspects of the piece to the exclusion of others. Content and form are fundamental elements of Persian miniature painting, and miniature artists are renowned for their modest, subtle use of colour.
