Getting rid of old paintings 2022 batch 1

I have in the past had culls on artwork, but not done so for some time. I dislike old paintings and have no attachment to them. This batch of 20 or so were canvas/ canvas board and have been broken down into chunks that can be thrown away in household rubbish over time. The frames and fixings are saved. I still have another 50 or so to go, some probably as recent as 2019. My aim is now to only keep paintings for up to 3 years, so as to keep the management of them simple and current, meaning that even some recently exhibited paintings (over 3 years) are for the chop soon.

Nice to get back space!

For the first time this year more old and tired paintings were destroyed to allow for space. They are on wooden stretcher bars so to allow them to be put in to rubbish sacks I use a wooden mallet to smash the bars apart so that they can be easily disposed of, rather than a special and inconvenient trip to the tip. There is still quite a lot to still get rid of! All of the paintings have been photographed to a high technical standard.

Disposal of further paintings

Following on from last month, more old paintings have now been broken up and disposed of. Now the remains fit easily into part of a bin bag. The space is needed and these pictures have seen their best days. However the images are not lost as all have been correctly and properly photographed over the years at their best. There is still a number to get rid of too...
