New idea

This idea comes from an exhibit at a craft show in Rhinebeck NY held last week. The artist told me the idea could be used again with different artistic themes/scenes. He is a retired art teacher who sells his small acrylic paintings at various craft shows. The exhibit is built of two wood rails (painted black) that have a groove (on top and bottom) to allow slats to slide along. Each slat (4" x 10") is canvasboard that has been been painted (acrylic paint) each in a different color scheme of a city scape. He had prepared enough slats so it measured 2ft across. You can interchange the slats by sliding them along the board -- one in front of the other. These scenarios can be changed for the fall or the summer or the spring or fall. You could prepare slats with mountain scenes or sea scapes showing sunrise or sunset. My thought was fish swimming by in a window pane. As they swim by they change color. This example was my first attempt and it really is a birthday card for my neighbor. It measures 4" x 8" and fits a legal envelope. You could mail out your own birthday card to family or friends. Of course it is made of fabric. So what do you think of my "Fish Card"? There are so many possiblities to this idea. The whole rack of slats could be set up on a mantel or a shelf in the living room. I do have another fish piece in the works right now for another challenge which is asking for a work 10" square. When I do these the hard part is the background.
