Can you find my painting?
At the Water's Edge
ABC has purchased the right to show “At the Water’s Edge” on Desperate Housewives. It will probably show up on camera somewhere this Fall season. I don’t know when or as part of what set. But I’d really like to know. So, if any of you spots it, please comment here or drop me a line.
They have purchased a 12 x 16 inch print on gallery wrapped canvas, so it could appear framed or unframed.
So far it has been a surreally fun experience. ABC/Disney has entered into an agreement with the on-line printing house Fine Art America, to facilitate licensing images for use on sets. Artists selling work through Fine Art America can opt in or out of the program. I opted in and then promptly forgot about it. It seemed much too unlikely.
But Wednesday morning I got an email from the design staff at Desperate Housewives. Thursday they arranged for FedEx to pick up the signed license agreement and Friday they purchased the print.
The young women who facilitated this has no idea which episode or where. Not surprising really.
My husband suggests I add “Painter to the Stars” to my resume. Slight overstatement? Of course. After all picking artwork for sets is akin to picking artwork to go with the sofa. It is fun, but not a critics seal of approval.
Prints of the painting may be purchased here.
