[bram]

Bought my first GD canvas today from Signal Gallery.

If anyones been to the exhibition it is the "Boy at the Back"

Only arrives after the exhibition so I will post pics end of next month.

Thanks for the heads up fergus (my wife's nit happy with you but mastercard is)

[photoxtc]

Yes. you got the best piece!!!

[bram]

Cheers Photoxtc, always good to hear other peoples opinions.

[dan]

You sure did get the best piece. Love it. Very good buy !!

[scavos]

Congrats on losing your Denning virginity bram! I very much look forward to seeing some pics when you can. Hopefully there's a few good snaps on here to give you some inspiration for framing. Photoxtc's museum glass looks like a more appealing option every time I see it. That said I personally like the idea of having an original open to the elements as it were especially when they are textured in the way Guy does it. I am yet to own one of his incredible canvasses, so as I say, I like the idea. :-)

[bram]

Thanks scavos, I was thinking about that. Whenever I see layered canvases behind glass I feel like you don't get the feel of the piece. That said Photoxtc's frame and museum glass looks fantastic (just a bit pricey, we are all poor bstds up north you know). I think i'm gonna take my time a look around a bit. Will know better when it arrives but I'm tempted to go with a box frame and keep the canvas face open.

Glad to say the kids have grown up so no mucky paws around the house (apart from mine)

Has anyone seen any of the new canvases, apart from the one on the flyer?

Fantastic piece, the more you look at it..the better it gets!

[bram]

Thanks Top.

I just hope it live up to my expectation.

I may sound like a bit of a loser hear but I printed it off on A4 and blue tacked it to the space where I'm gonna hang it. I think I'm turning into a teenager (mid life crissis?)

[photoxtc]

Have you seen this piece in person or any other denning Canvas in the flesh? If not, you are in for a treat, pictures never do a Denning canvas justice! Plus they smell so lovely, that's the only thing you lose with the museum glass

[bram]

No Photoxtc, I haven't seen this one in the flesh but can imagine the depth but not the smell!

Haha!.it will easily surpass your highest expectations and then some Bram..
you might expect to be hit with a wave of joy or be spellbound..problem is, its so big you won't notice for a little while, then all your horizon's will be filled with your senses hitting sensory jackpot overload..or your money back

Tenner from me If I'm wrong.. I wont take your money ;D

Offer'er up to the wall is the only way!

Once you get your piece, you will have an outburst of some description too..so as to let the chemicals balance out in your body from all this buzzin'!!- can tell from what you have written that you are flying out of your body! hehe! ;D

A Denning is one of the best things in this world that money can buy..more importantly, its everything money is not.. that canvas is full of love,it will fill your world with happiness, give wisdom and make you think something good every time you look at it..

..oh shi it..I'm flying too now..

;D ;D ;D

[bram]

Nicely put Top. Watch this the postie will drop in 3 yards from the front door and it'll have a bloody big crack down it!.

Anyone had chance to sneak a preview of "same nuts" yet?

Now that's what I call passion Top!!! See what you're in for Bram once you get that canvas...

I think well all go through the same feelings once that canvas is unpacked and opened up for you to see! ;D

..three weeks of 'jeez that was quite a bit of money I spent there'..'I hope it is as good as it looks' 'are those guys on the forum just buffin me up coz i bought one?' 'hope that it gets delivered ok' 'will it be worth much if i want to get rid of it?,will i get my money back or will it all have been a waste of time and money' etc etc etc!

and/or..

'that is the best painting I could ever wish to adorn my walls!' 'will this grin I have ever ease?!' 'does anyone know how chuffed I am?!'
'I'll just go online again to look at it..' 'i must stop trying to pick holes in it..after all it is bloody brilliant' 'i've really made a statement here with this puppy (hehe! ..lovin doing this!!..sorry bram : anyone who digs politics is gonna love this'' 'wish i could get some sleep and put those thoughts to one side'

..you get my drift bram , we all had one or more of these every day I can assure you!

Right, sorry to joke so freely bram, it will ease..well,just a little!! all part of the Denning experience old chap' ;D

Once you've got it.. it goes something like this..

'fookin'ell that really is an outstanding painting (permanent smiles, inane grins, euphoria, noradrenaline rushes etc) just take a second out of your life to look at this!!!'

soon to be followed by..

'd**n..I need another one now..'

;D ;D ;D

Yep, I'm still suffering..

wouldn't have it any other way..marvellous! ;D

[bram]

Crazy is the word Photo. The exhibition only finishes on Saturday and I guess it will only be shipped early next week.

Don't worry the old digital camera will be dusted off so you can all see it. Just don't expect the framing to your standard

[scavos]
